Music is a funny medium. It really changes the way you experience the world, initiating a journey of reckoning and internal turmoil that often helps us come to terms with our inner emotions. ‘Sermons Of The Forgotten’ is the perfect example of that, a liminal, melancholic rap album built on hard-hitting hip-hop beats and sharp, striking vocal flow, making for a listening experience that’s simply unforgettable.
Penned by British creative DJ Nocturn, ‘Sermons Of The Forgotten’ is quite a rewarding record. Let’s focus on one of its most prominent singles, ‘Brother, Not By Blood’. It oscillates between gloomy, striking verses and more melodic, poignant choruses – they also carry a certain Ed Sheeran-esque flair, a quality that quickly takes us back to 2015. Yet, it’s a timeless record that we are confident will connect with like-minded listeners worldwide. Heartwarming, luscious piano tones reveal a traditional instrumental character, the perfect match for such a tragic and serious song.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Brother, Not By Blood’, DJ Nocturn explains: “This track follows two men who found brotherhood not through family, but through shared battles and street loyalty. One is fiercely loyal, the other teetering on self-destruction. As their paths begin to split, the song captures the tension of love, betrayal, and the crushing weight of unspoken history.”
