SET DA TREND SHARES NEW VIDEO SINGLE”TAKING ADVANTAGE”
Set Da Trend, the prominent 19-year-old Bronx artist, has just shared his new video single “Taking Advantage”, along with the announcement that his debut mixtape Setty Vs Set Da Trend is set for release on 6/30. Set Da Trend has spent the past three years building a distinct name for himself within the NYC music scene through his expressive lyricism and stand-out collaborations with the likes of Kay Flock & Dougie B, as well as his breakthrough solo track with Cash Cobain. In the process, he’s quickly become a household name within his city’s booming scene despite his limited discography – supported by his distinctive skill set that comes complete with uniquely emotional raps expressed through a healthy balance of candid storytelling and no-nonsense bars, rapid-fire flows and an array of cadences. Now, beginning with the release of “Taking Advantage”, Set Da Trend is entering his new era with a chip on his shoulder to prove himself as a staple in his city and beyond.
On Set Da Trend’s new video single “Taking Advantage”, the first peak into his forthcoming debut mixtape Setty Vs Set Da Trend, the Bronx artist’s continued desire to be conscious in regards to his lyrics, as well as his tight-knit raps, are on full display. Through his growly delivery, Set Da Trend uses the knocking beat to continue expanding upon his eccentric take on the drill sound by delivering an animated yet simultaneously mature performance. After assuring that his sound is to be labelled as “bag music” rather than just drill music, he immediately kicks off the new track with the introspective hook – “Problems, you can’t run away from it / I used to sleep in the trap house / Fight to the end, never back down”, he raps with purpose. With a clear-cut emphasis on self-expression and growth as both an artist and a person within his evolving artistry, Set Da Trend is using “Taking Advantage” and his upcoming debut mixtape Setty Vs Set Da Trend to continue setting himself apart through his dynamic sound.
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.
