Level Up

Elite

2013

Level Up is a narrative-based project following Elite through the first year of his life after moving from Byram, CT, to Brooklyn, NY. The story starts with a Prologue introducing the supporting character (She), which is the only non-linear section of the story. “She” is reintroduced in the song “Devil In a Red Dress,” but until then, we follow Elite through his newly found loco life, exploring being single and free.

The second half of the project focuses on a relationship that seemed doomed from the start but took some complex twists and turns before crumbling during the climax of “Game 7”. The title track “Level Up” signifies Elite’s ascension to new heights of understanding and success, but only after experiencing pain. We must tear the muscle in order for it to grow back stronger.
