The multi award-winning Indigenous hip hop group DEM MOB is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, “I’ll Get By,” a powerful track serving as a beacon of hope and empowerment for those grappling with mental health challenges – “I’ll Get By,” is a testament to the transformative power of self-help and resilience.
With a fresh incorporation of clean vocals, influenced by the melodic styles of The Weeknd and Michael Jackson, and inspired by the likes of Kendrick Lamar and J Cole, the song marks a slender shift in DEM MOB’s musical direction.
“I’ll Get By” emerges from the personal journeys of each member of DEM MOB, particularly during a period of significant change and challenge while relocating to Adelaide. The track reflects their collective experiences and the personal battles of group members, including Elisha, Jontae, and Basso, alongside Matt . It encapsulates a message of overcoming adversity through self-awareness and inner strength.
Recorded in their home studio, the creation of “I’ll Get By” was a spontaneous burst of creative synergy, completed in under 24 hours—a memorable testament to the group’s cohesive dynamic, which was crafted collaboratively by the group and finely tuned with mixing by Luke Million and mastering by Andre Eremin.
DEM MOB hopes that “I’ll Get By” will inspire listeners to harness their personal power to navigate life’s challenges.
In the words of Jontae, “By constant self-development and self-control you can develop greatness of character.” It’s a reminder that even in the darkest times, there’s a guiding voice within each of us, ready to lead the way forward.
The accompanying music video, directed by the talented Natasha Wanganeen with Maxx Corkindale as the director of photography, features a compelling transition from black and white to colour, symbolizing the journey from hardship to empowerment. This visual motif aligns closely with the song’s underlying message of seeing the world anew through the lens of self-determination.
“I’ll Get By” is more than just a single; it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed yet found the strength to persevere, as DEM MOB they continues to use their music as a platform for advocacy, education, and cultural.
