Uneak talks origins, inspiration, and his recent EP: “Better In Person”

JaJuan Malachi chats with rising New York rapper Uneak

Hailing from Roosevelt, NY, Keanu Clarke, better known as, Uneak has established an outstanding knack for cultivating music that somehow achieves at feeding both the mind and the soul. 

With a fervent hunger woozily reminiscent of J. Cole in his ‘Friday Nights Lights’ bag, the lyrically gifted newcomer is sincere in his expression and in all things that make him authentically unique. 

Despite there being something earnest about his content matter at times, his discography embraces a healthy amount of fun and hedonism. 

Sonically, he typically embraces a menagerie of chipmunk soul-infused instrumentation, which tend to provide some nostalgic flare while still sounding very much in tune with the present. 

From a lyrical perspective, Uneak’s sentiments are witty, aspirational and anchored in the life and times of his current reality but never detract from his primary goal: to become a remarkable entity among today’s Hip-Hop milieu. 

With the full intention of demonstrating his boundless versatility as an artist, Uneak dropped his most recent EP: “Better In Person,” which dropped in November. Some salient highlights on the record include “Elevate” and “Day By Day.” 

“Better In Person gives you my true sound as an artist. This EP is the definition of becoming better and expressing certain things I’ve been though.” 

In what is fully complementary to his recent release, Uneak spoke to JaJuan Malachi of The Knockturnal to paint more of a vivid picture of who he is at the core. Some of the things spoken about include his origins, his plans for the future, some of the most recently played music on his playlist, “Better In Person” and much more. 

Here’s how the conversation played out:
