Five SoundCloud Gems To Get Behind

Published

on

After going on a SoundCloud deep dive, we’ve found five tracks that’ll make your week better, even if it’s just a smidge. These are some out of the ordinary cuts by rappers on the verge of becoming industry iconoclasts when they reach the next level. They’re not afraid to push the envelope so that they may push the culture in return.

 

“Midnight” by Nick Teslah

Nick Teslah is based out of Newport News, VA, and he’s one of the hottest rising artists in the state without the tremendous buzz that comes with prodigy-level talent. “Midnight” is a moody indicator of his dreary aesthetic, incorporating the kind of slow-burning emo feels that many artists try to emulate, yet fail miserably in doing so. Teslah’s got a bright future ahead of him.

“What Am I To Do” by Mick Jenkins

Mick Jenkins has been a fixture of the conscious rap scene for years now. His penchant for quality, other-worldy music is next to none. His new release “What Am I To Do” switches it up, sounding much more grounded than many of his older works, largely due to KAYTRANADA’s production. It’s one of the more soulful tracks that you’ll hear this week.

 

“Save Her” by CashCurt

This CashCurt cut “Save Her” is just the kind of new age hit that’ll leave your ears smoldering. There’s nothing especially unique about it other than the fact that it sounds brilliant, furthering many of the concepts artists have brought to the table in a sonically consumable package.

 

“Pop Shit” by Draydon”

Draydon came onto our radar with “Gem” a few months ago. Now he has a somber new cut that looks to stir up a similar sentiment. “Pop Shit” is a creepy, emotional cut that brings more of his spectacular brand to the forefront. It’s some seriously smooth shit that’ll keep you replaying it.

 

“Poppin Shit” by ATL Smook

You never know what you’ll get from ATL Smook. That’s what makes his music so exciting; he could create a trap banger of the coldest quality, and, next, he’ll create an autotune smash that stands extremely close next to alt-rock. His newest, “Poppin Shit,” sounds like a bass-heavy mix, being one of the best tracks we’ve heard from him in quite some time.

In the ever-evolving landscape of music, few artists manage to bridge the gap between seemingly disparate genres. One such trailblazer is Facevsit, a rapper and songwriter whose journey has been fueled by a deep connection to poetry and hip hop. As a young child, Facevsit found solace in writing poetry, which naturally evolved into rap as the genre’s rhythmic and lyrical intensity resonated with him.

This eclectic mix of influences is evident in his music, where genres like salsa, cumbia, and merengue seamlessly blend with hip hop, thanks to the innovative production of THX Beats. As the future of music continues to evolve with the blending of genres, Facevsit aims to be at the forefront, contributing to this dynamic landscape.
