A staple of Wonda Music’s growing family, LUNA – short for Lunatic – carries a chip on his shoulder with the confidence to explore the nuances of mental health. With his signature in-your-face energy and rapid-fire bars, the New York-born emcee shares his new video for “Minds on Fire” featuring Niré Alldai and Jerry Wonda, the third single released ahead of his upcoming debut album, LUNAcy.
The “Minds on Fire” video opens with Niré Alldai’s vocal firmness before transitioning into a standalone shot of LUNA clipse, who’s seen sporting a straight jacket as he maneuvers throughout a seemingly desolate prison. As the track kicks off with its dark, guitar-laced production, LUNA sets the record straight about his lived experience behind the wall, as evidenced by the line, “That prison for the criminally insane so inhumane/To sick brains that inhumane I became.” The video could serve as an attestation to LUNA’s ability to overcome whatever obstacles are thrown his way, no matter how morally unjustifiable those obstacles may be.
“Minds on Fire” adds a third installment to the LUNAcy series, serving as a precursor to his aforementioned debut project and the perfect bookend to his pocket of previously released singles (“Lunacy” and “The Twin Towers”). With a catalog of steadily improving tracks at his disposal, LUNA has shown that he has the talent and determination required to succeed in the music business.
