Crushing coke, downing drinks, and popping pills before the show even goes on has inevitable makings for a rock and roll redemption story. Musical success can particularly be the downfall for an artist who is still being haunted by the pain of the past, but Lotus proves that it is all about how you pick yourself up again and keep moving forward. In his short but eventful 25 years, the vocalist has become a mainstay at the intersection of experimental rap and post-hardcore. His diverse talents have put forth classic tracks like “Run Home“, fit for long, lonely nights, alongside hit “Body Bag,” which is best suited for fast times with friends. No matter the feeling, Lotus has probably spoken about it. That is why it does not take a major motion picture to tell the story of his rise, downfall, and rebirth, but rather, truth extended from broad Texas skies with no room to hide.
