Check out Derek Minor, Thi'sl, and Aaron Cole's latest visual for "Pressure"
The Reflection Music Group movement continues to deliver inspirational vibes for fans to enjoy. Just before 2023 arrived, the label’s co-founder, Derek Minor, marked his return with a new single titled “Pressure,” a self-produced offering that features Thi’sl and Aaron Cole. Simply put, the track is centered around pushing through obstacles while on the path to success:
“They say pressure make diamonds, but I feel a lot of pressure on my back lately, and I wanna give up, but I gotta put the world on my back baby, I done came from a lot just to get to the top like ahh, it’s a whole lot of pressure, but i’m still applying pressure…”
Via press release, Minor broke down the song’s positive theme in further detail: “When you are striving for greatness, it comes with tons of pressure. The temptation is to fold under that pressure and accept defeat. [‘Pressure’] is meant to motivate people to stay the course and rise to the occasion.”
The hard-hitting collaboration also boasts a matching visual that shows the Nashville native and Thi’sl delivering their rhymes from different locations, including on a porch, in front of a tire shop, and from inside of a classic Oldsmobile convertible. While heard, Cole doesn’t make an actual appearance in the short clip.
Months before the arrival of “Pressure,” Minor liberated the seven-song EP Nolan and Zane’s Lofi Adventures, a project created in honor of his two children. Prior to that, he released the hard-hitting Highlight Tapes, Vol. 1 in 2021, complete with additional contributions from Foggieraw, Parris Chariz, Tony Tillman, Jon Keith, Scootie Wop, A.I. The Anomaly, and more. Currently, he’s said to be putting the finishing touches on a new LP titled Nobody’s Perfect. Press play on Minor’s “Pressure” video with Thi’sl and Aaron Cole below.
