Written after a near-death experience, Ivan&#8217;s track, &#8216;Get It Together&#8217;, which features producer\/songwriter Dre Butterz, is a call to responsibility to the youth of today.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ivan&#8217;s rhymes challenge the guns and violence which has sadly become the status quo in a lot of communities. The track is autobiographical, with Ivan choosing to see his near-misses not as just a chance, but rather a duty call to do his part in making the world in which he lives a little more compassionate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;Get It Together&#8217; sees Ivan Keith delivering his message face on to camera while he drops his lines about his knowledge of the subject. He&#8217;s focused on the camera in total seriousness, and steps back on the rooftop to let Dre Butterz sing the anthemic, stripped down chorus, &#8220;when will we get it together?&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shot in Detroit, with the famous skyline visible in the distance, the video is a stark reminder that even in the most gleaming cities of glass and steel, there&#8217;s also whole neighbourhoods nearby which may as well be another world. The story doesn&#8217;t just apply to America and its struggles, but can also reflect what&#8217;s going on in the wider world.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Ivan Keith online on <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/IvanKeith\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/ivan-keith-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soundcloud<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/IvanKeithBMB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.
