His latest track, &#8216;NFL&#8217;, could be seen as rude, but it&#8217;s also quick-witted and hilarious; four minutes of rhyme over an incredibly catchy trap beat.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Safaree has been able to hold his head up for well over a decade in the notoriously competitive New York City hip hop scene. He set up his first crew with Nicki Minaj back in the early Noughties, and has continued his working relationship with her, including the very controversial, &#8216;Did It On &#8216;Em&#8217; for her 2010 &#8216;Pink Friday&#8217; album, as well as six tracks on her follow up album, &#8216;Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded&#8217; from 2012. Safaree has also apeared in several of her videos, and taken that experience to the small screen, where he&#8217;s been in both the Hollywood and New York versions of &#8216;Love And Hip Hop&#8217;. All this has meant Safaree&#8217;s gained a massive fan following, which has seen him gaining millions of YouTube views, as well as over 100,000 monthly Spotify listeners, and 1.1 million Instagram followers.<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;NFL&#8217; has a deep DnB feel to it, with Safaree spitting out the rhymes with a ferociousness that can&#8217;t be ignored. The video is more like a mini movie than a music video, with Safaree&#8217;s television experience put to good work as he knows exactly how to address the camera, fill the frame, and to present his most personable self, even while he&#8217;s at his most fierce. The clip has been directed by Peter Dmitriyev, who keeps his focus on Safaree. The colours pop from the screen, lots of reds and blues leaping out at the viewer. Like many hip hop tracks there&#8217;s a great many beautiful women in the clip; the focus however is kept on Safaree the entire time, as he commands every viewer&#8217;s attention.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find Safaree online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IAMSAFAREE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iamsafaree\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SafareeOfficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, while &#8216;NFL&#8217; is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/4l11Sa61BmFfLcLdzJB0Or\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/fur-coat-vol-1\/1315483980\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_65035\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1v5DcWCmuWQ?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"SAFAREE - NFL - OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/1v5DcWCmuWQ\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Emcee Safaree is known for his incendiary verses, which as often as not have people questioning if he&#8217;s actually said what he&#8217;s said &#8211; given in a flurry of punchlines, witty one-liners, and the unadulterated truth.
