Artist To Watch
Get to know the Bronx’s very own, HXTRA
HXTRA is a rising artist who’s gaining motion! His new EP, MARAVILLA speaks about everything the Bronx artist has gone through in the last year and channels his inner thoughts and experiences he’s had. Each song on the EP presents a different vibe and mood just as life has been recently for the artist.
“HXTRA was inspired by King Midas and his daughter Marigold, which translates to Maravilla in Spanish, and means “the golden child.” The main single of the EP speaks about having the Midas touch, hence “MARAVILLA.”
HXTRA is an ambitious artist who looks to accomplish several goals such as hitting 1 million streams and moving his family into a nice mansion.
The artist explained that one of his defining moments was performing his single “Hoes Understand Me” and the whole crowd said, “Why do only hoes understand me?”. From his music, HXTRA wants fans to have fun and be themselves.
HXTRA’s music is a combination of several different vibes and moods, reflecting the artist’s experiences in the last year. It has a club-like atmosphere, with a mix of love and toxicity, making you want to dance and feel like you’re in a movie.
HXTRA’s music is inspired by his love for music, which he has had since childhood. He grew up singing and writing raps with his friends and was never afraid of the spotlight. His parents, both singers and musicians, also played a major role in his musical journey and served as a major source of inspiration for him.
For those who are listening to HXTRA for the first time, the artist suggests starting with “Hoes Understand Me” or “Stripper Snow Angel.” The artist’s influences include Chris Brown, Future, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Lil Wayne, Eminem, 50 Cent, Big Pun, Biggie Smalls, and Ten$e. These artists have shaped HXTRA’s sound and helped him to develop his unique style, which is a mix of R&B, hip-hop, and pop.
The artist is currently focused on making good music and finishing videos for the EP. He hopes his fans will take away a message of being themselves and having fun. You can follow HXTRA on Instagram.
“MARAVILLA” is now available on all major streaming platforms. Don’t miss out on the latest project from HXTRA, the Bronx’s own.
Black Skywalker, the rising artist with an undeniable buzz, drops his debut EP, I Need Therapy.
The new project promises to usher in the new era of hip-hop. “Rap music is in a dark place and I came to bring the light,” said Skywalker. “The type of music I make is best described as Outer Space Jedi-level rap shit.”
Black Skywalker and Chris Rosa produced the debut EP featuring the focus track “Pills and Alcohol”. The single describes a man battling depression and anxiety with prescription medicine and champagne.
The EP includes hard-hitting 808s, crackling snares, and spacey synths. “We in Love” is a melodic record with a bouncy bass and drums. However, the lyrics depict a flawed relationship due to social media and porn addiction.
Black Skywalker’s ‘Pain of Letting Go’ has huge production and raw guitar. The lyrics express deep emotion and heartbreak, making the EP’s inspiration very clear.
“Therapy” is a song that touches on the struggles of life and the importance of seeking help. The production is interesting, with dark verses and uplifting hooks. The second verse highlights the benefits of opening up to a therapist and encourages others to do the same.
“Slide with Me” is a standout track from the EP with great production and an infectious hook. It narrates the story of falling in love with the woman of your dreams and has an upbeat vibe that sets it apart from the rest of the EP.
EP delivers a relatable conversation, amazing production, and intentional songwriting. Black Skywalker calls it outer space Jedi-level rap music.
