Chris Rivers of course is back this week with his cover to Childish Gambino’s “This is America” with his own version called “This is Depression”. Chris uses the contrasting parts of the beat to emphasis the parallels and duality of having a positive mind state and depression lingering there waiting to alter your mood. Chris talks about many reasons depression is caused, from society to past events, with word play and delivery being the engine to the the message he’s delivering.
