South London's Benjamin A.D returns, similarly to last month's "Come My Way", with a sharp introspective piece in "Mandatory Mantra". Available to stream via SoundCloud, there's also a short accompanying visual working in tandem with the track's message. Delivered in near-spoken word fashion, they act as a pseudo-diary entry to Benjamin's world as he outlines his mental state through lyric, with hand-drawn illustrations from artist Taniel Rave, flashing across the screen to represent his inner demons. The rapper opens up on wax like he's never done before. Get into it above, and also below.
