One thing I love to hear is when men and women decide for themselves that the current rat race of life isn’t enough. That they want something beyond the norm and want to become great. Trust me, it’s an ideal that everyone has but very rarely acted on.

As someone who prioritises work ethic and ambition above all else, I can say with a good degree of confidence that this man right here, this newly discovered MC, is one that has the heart, potential, and grind to make it come true, and with this latest single on our hands, it’s further demonstration of that point! 

What we have here today is the brand-new single by MC Kidd Siver and producer 94 West. Kidd, being someone who has been making music since 2020 and has developed, from what I understand, a sizeable attraction with already over 15k in Spotify streams and almost 3k views on YouTube! 

With 94 West by his side, he seems to be the smart choice for producer as he seems to understand the exact atmosphere Kidd needs to thrive! 

As far as the production goes on this record, we have what sounds to me as a blend of psychedelia, trip-hop, trap, and hip-hop! Immediately, the sound reminded me of a combination of Travis Scott meets Kid Cudi! A variety of trippy instrumentation and prolonged chords that give off a strong atmospheric vibe that you can feel yourself being completely immersed into!

This track includes these wavy piano keys that are delicately tuned in the background! You’ve got that ridiculously heavy bass and some trap-style drum beats that force you to groove while listening to it!

There’s even vocal harmonies used far in the back of the track, used ever so subtly to give a little texture to the spacy vibe of the overall track!

There’s also somewhere in the distance what sounds like sirens! And then, as the song progresses, we get these electric guitar strings that help initiate the final moments of the track! That’s one thing about this song that I find so fucking interesting!

A lot of the sonic aspects are in the back of the song! It feels like they are a few feet away from the main elements, and that gives this song the hint of psychedelic nature and energy! Sort of an ASMR vibe to this track that I fucked with heavily! 

As far as Kidd goes, I can definitely understand why he’d be in the forefront of becoming ‘the next big thing’ as he has a sound that a particular niche is looking for, and that ‘niche’ has grown into the millions in the last decade as this kind of sound has sky-rocketed in popularity and demand!

Across this song, we hear Kidd with a more trap performance! A combination of aura-filled/explosive verses that contain equal parts bars and melodic singing that is mellow and spacey in nature!

This song screams atmosphere! This is a song that the world will play when they need a mood captured, an itch to scratch that the usual mainstream sounds can’t crack, and that’s where this man will step in!

His performance is lively, it’s infectious, and most importantly, it’s catchy and full of small details and micro-transitions from that small intro to the main song, which evolves into those guitar strings, which leads to the sound of ocean waves paired with his vocals to close the song off!

He’s keeping the audience on their toes and never leaving a boring second to worry about.

Look, although this may not be my go-to sound, I can guarantee you it will be for many. This is a type of artist that is hot right now if done correctly, and I have no doubt in my mind that this man is that guy to be the new face of this sound!
