Daniel Son - The World Is Yours (Video)

Daniel Son - The World Is Yours

 Daniel Son drops his new video for his self produced single "The World Is Yours".

Embedded over an instrumental reminiscent of the good old days of 90's Hip Hop, Daniel Son also displays a flow which wouldn't have sounded out of place in the UK's own golden era in the late 90's/early 2000's. That's definitely a good thing.
