If there is one up-and-coming artist that has an inspiring story to tell about overcoming physical and mental trauma, and continuing to create art in spite of debilitating bouts of PTSD, that is Ca$ino Roulette. The rapper and songwriter announced today that his new song, PTSD,will be released on January 15th, 2019, on all streaming platforms, including Spotify and Tidal. The music video for PTSD will also be released on the same date on all streaming outlets and Ca$ino’s social media pages.
“I had a hole in my heart/forever carrying my scars (I feel trapped)”, raps Ca$ino in PTSD, giving fans only a glimpse of what he has been through in the last few years. In June of 2018, he was involved in a near-fatal car crash in Miami with Love and Hip Hop Atlanta star and rapper Lil Scrappy. Ca$ino came out alive, but with a list of major injuries that ranged from ruptures to his bowels; two separations in his large intestine; four cracked ribs; severe liver damage; lung contusions; neck and back injuries, and a concussion. He had to undergo two major surgeries; spend day in a drug-induced coma, and stay in the hospital for a week to recuperate.
The artist’s odyssey did not end there, and the scars the accident left him with still feel fresh, as he recently shared with TMZ. Post-hospitalization, Ca$ino had to have months of therapy to learn how to walk again with the injuries he sustained during the accident, as well as undergo mental health evaluations to gain coping mechanisms for dealing with the emotional impact the event has had on his psyche.
It was during these therapy sessions that Ca$ino was diagnosed with PTSD. However, as he came to find out, he was haunted by the disease’s manifestation for a long time, as his first episodes begun occurring five years prior to his car accident, when he was shot six times at close range while sitting in his car during an attempted robbery.
“After learning how to cope with my thoughts and dreams, which usually turns into nightmares, I decided to put it all into a song to help others who may be suffering from the same thing as myself,” said Ca$ino. “Many people think that PTSD only occurs in military veterans, and, sadly, the condition is often overlooked in urban communities. So, with this song, I wanted to address the issues that plagued me during my time of recovery, and do my part to help someone that might be going through the very same things that I did – and still do.”
Ca$ino’s fans can pre-save PTSD before its official release through here.
