Virginia-based Recording Artist, @Saekyii Offers a Nostalgic Ride On ‘Sunset Demos’ EP
Through the Highs and Self-Destructive Lows of Past Relationships on New 6-Track EP, ‘Sunset Demo’s’
Virginia-bred, Alternative Hip-Hop artist, Sækyi, first began to make waves in Summer 2019 when his “Speak Easy” single was featured in two of Spotify’s editorial playlists. Since then, the Ghanian-American rapper has dropped several loosies including the romantic, audible-time capsule, “Girls,” and the cathartic, 808-thumping “Free Fall,” the latter of which serves as the lead single for his dynamic, new EP, Sunset Demo’s.
Though he is no stranger to introspective rhymes on love, Sunset Demo’s has a much more distinctive approach, as Sækyi reflects on the highs and self-destructive lows of previous relationships. From the use of warm, immersive melodies on “Apt. 706” featuring singer Eric Penn, to using low pitch vocal distortion for raw, moody records like “Kink” where sticky punchlines conceal his insecurity, Sunset Demo’s is a personal, yet remarkable introduction to Sækyi’s artistry.
“Sunset Demos is really me working through the stages of love or a relationship. With me pulling from my personal past experiences and piecing together this loose narrative. Every song is something I’ve felt, done, or thought of before. So this tape really is just a summary of my love life,”
– Sækyi
Despite the brevity of the 6-track body of work, the 15-minute-long EP is far from shallow in terms of content. Confiding in listeners on this intimate journey, Sækyi offers a cohesive collection of songs that’s just as ruminative as the lyrics. “It’s so hard / To feel like you ain’t holding on anymore / Sunset was the only place for me/ I stood next to you so faithfully,” Sækyi croons in anguish on the guitar-driven “Sunset Blvd.”
Effortlessly weaving both his vulnerability and confidence into a wide sonic range of instrumentation, Sækyi has arrived with Sunset Demo’s. If the EP is any indication of what’s to come, the VA native will likely be around for quite some time, and his growth will be as enthralling as well…a sunset itself.

Los Angeles native Swendal is one of one and his latest LP Taste Buds’ showcases it fully. Being his first release in awhile, Swendal wanted to come back with a bang and that he did.
‘Taste Buds’ is a 25 track LP where Swendal mixes life experiences along with dope bars and metaphors that fans of good music can enjoy at any setting.
It’s a certain level of maturity from Swendal which fans of good music can really enjoy. The passion of his tone and level of wordplay is reminiscent of such as Dom Kennedy, the late Nipsey Hussle, and Blxst. However he is his own artist and should be appreciated as such.
Good company to keep for a good artist to add to your daily mix. Check out ‘Taste Buds’ below.
