“Timeless / Man, I swear this s**t timeless.” is uttered poignantly at the beginning of Texas emcee, D.Hewitt’s, 2018 cut “Timeless”. By the end of his three minutes and forty-seven seconds on the mic, he leaves us more than inclined to agree. There’s a triumphant, ambient pad that fulfills most of the melody, backed by a solemn bassline, trap drums, and Hewitt’s own candid lyricism. The atmosphere our Hillsboro hero manifests on the record is reflected perfectly throughout its visual, where Hewitt is featured in an all white room, accompanied by one lone microphone. Just as the day he walked into the studio and laid these verses, he proves in this music video that a microphone is all he needs to send a powerful message and create grandiose impact. “Timeless” is raw and honest in its lyricism, as well as delivery; wherein, the Lonestar rapper spits his personal journey and grown perspective on this thing we call life. It can likewise be viewed as an homage to all those he’s crossed paths with, as there is a moment near 1:10 where he name-drops a handful of individuals who’ve given him invaluable guidance. Hewitt embodies the pure essence of Texas on this track; coming across as the epitome of trill. He mentions his personal battles with suicide, betrayal, and betterance; refusing to distract any of us with metaphors of punchlines. He knows his message and life story are enough. Hewitt could not have titled this record any better. After it’s all said and done, and the Texan steps away emotionally from that lone microphone in the white room, he’s left us with something “Timeless” to honor.
