Video: Locksmith: Lays "Mad World" in 1 Take

Locksmith gets personal, discussing the pains he has traversed in this “Mad World.” Whereas Lock’s mouthpiece is often set in a snarl, here he uses the booth as a therapist’s couch, venting his troubles in one take. There is indeed something therapeutic about channeling frustration through art. And the ability to be open with pain and amplify your weakness is one of the best things an artist can do to humanize themselves and relate to their fans. Props to Lock for coming from the gut and speaking his mind.
