Courtney Bell has made a name for himself over the past few years as an inspirational and unifying artist in Detroit with proven skills on the mic (as exemplified in his LA Leakers Freestyle) as well as an arena shaking presence on stage, having performed at the Little Ceasars Arena last year during a Detroit Pistons halftime show. After a brief hiatus from making music to focus on his mental health, community, & spiritual journey, Courtney Bell has found a renewed sense of purpose, perspective, and vision which is immediately apparent in his latest single & video. Over a subtle sample, jazzy drums, and waining keys, Courtney lets listeners into the most intimate corners of his mind, detailing the deep learning that occurred during his break from the mic and the extensive demons he fights on the daily. “Introspection” is a slow-burning confessional coupled with a lyrical exercise, showing the sheer ability & transparency that makes Courtney such a unique entity in today’s hip-hop landscape. The song encompasses the harrowing year Courtney Bell has had after tragically losing 13 people in his life to COVID, fiercely battling addiction, and overcoming the psychological barriers associated with these traumas.
