SOCALLOUS is a rapper and hip-hop artist with an alternative edge. His flows are speckled with contemporary and modern hip-hop features that are incredibly refreshing and fun. His deliberate sense of style and charisma throughout the composition poses another elevation.
There’s nothing more attractive in a rapper than his ability to channel his most authentic self into his work. It is one of the most important demands of the genre. SOCALLOUS’s skill at this seems innate. Informed by sophisticated intuition and artistic intention, but also infused with a generous sense of self.
You’ll especially experience it in his ‘NO EFFORT III’ album (2022), a collection that, as indicated in the title, is raw and candid with no extra fittings. The flows are smooth and free. In the track, ‘Rooftop Summer’, this seamless energy is posed against a lo-fi synth backdrop, bluesy jazz prompts, and mellow beats. This modernity strikes an affecting contrast with the powerful emotion driving the verses. Like an invisible current, it pulls and presses, passes and returns. Listeners of Loyle Carner are sure to enjoy the work of this artist.
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
