London based rapper Ghetts has released an emotional new track ‘Proud Family’. The track, along with visuals directed by Nathan James Tettey, premiered on the 16th December, much to fans delight.
The track is impactful from the start, with Ghetts rapping about his family, past mistakes, and positive change, over a lulling, mellow beat. Across the track, a theme of benevolence runs throughout, as the artists raps lyrics such as “Unconditional love, that get through anything miracle love, that nothing can’t top this pinnacle love, that spiritual love, that’s that original love.”

The music video that accompanied the track is equally moving, with the artist and director utilising a split-screen effect in order to show Ghetts progression. While one side depicts the artist young and getting arrested, the other shows him matured, surrounded by family, and creating music with artists such as J Hus, Dave, and Stormzy, who make cameo appearances within the video.
It’s been a few years since the artist dropped a full-length release, with his most recent album ‘Ghetto Gospel: The New Testament’ coming out in 2018. However, this single, as well as his other 2020 releases ‘IC3′ featuring Skepta and ‘Mozambique’ featuring Jaykae and Moonchild Sanelly, have left fans and critics alike eager for the artists next album. With ‘Proud Family’ being such a powerful, inspiring track, the artist has proved that whatever he releases next, will be worth the wait.
