Idris Ocean is an emerging independent hip-hop/r&b artist who started his journey as a professional musician 5 years ago. The El Paso, Texas native writes soulful and introspective neo-soul grooves. Although he is just getting started, the talented young artist hit the ground running with his debut single.
“Van Gogh” is the debut single from Idris Ocean, available worldwide via all major streaming services. Originally released in 2019, the track was a hit right out of the gate. Without any record label support, since its release the song has over 1.4 million spins on Spotify.
An angelic harp music opens the track. Soon the beat drops on a chilled out downtempo hip-hop groove. Idris Ocean steps to the mic for a melancholy, soulful stream-of-consciousness melodic freestyle rap about fame, art and mental health.
