Klassik Poet is back with a powerful statement piece in his new video “ADAPT,” a masterclass in storytelling, sonic evolution, and self-reflection. Directed with cinematic finesse by JIHVD, the video is a visual companion to a track that dares to do what few others even attempt—time travel through five decades of hip-hop. From the raw boom bap of the 1970s to the melodic trap stylings of the 2020s, Klassik Poet glides through each era with lyrical sharpness and creative control, all while staying true to his identity. The record’s seamless transitions highlight not only the genre’s evolution but the artist’s own adaptability and reverence for the culture.
But “ADAPT” isn’t just a technical flex—it’s a philosophical opening to something deeper. Serving as the first chapter in the story leading up to his upcoming album “GREY AREA” (dropping November 2025), the track lays the foundation for a larger narrative about defining success on your own terms and embracing the complexity of life. As Klassik Poet reminds us, everything doesn’t exist in black and white—we all live somewhere in the grey area. With production from Anthony Obas and Klassik himself, this release is a bold, introspective, and timely offering that proves he’s not just keeping up with hip-hop’s timeline—he’s rewriting it.
