Feel Nothing: KDX refuses to shiver as his energy grows within the pain on H.O.S

Posted on 19 May 2023

Taken off the much-awaited 7-track Amor Fati album, KDX shows us what it feels like when those dark demons storm in like a vicious hurricane that refuses to relent no matter the cruelty involved on H.O.S.

KDX is a Galway, Republic of Ireland-based indie hip-hop artist who is an underground poet who creates emotional experiences to be genuinely mesmerized inside like a dark vortex.

Influenced by XXXTENTACION, Kendrick Lamar, and Tupac, KDX drops a superb experience to excite even the sleepiest cats roaming the streets. Deep in the mountains of West Ireland, we find a stunning single to light up many candles with.

“Amor Fati has one main goal, this is to be an instrument in the healing process of anyone who can relate. We all hurt but moving forward is key, I think Rusty Chainz does well to set this atmosphere.” KDX explains.

H.O.S from Galway, Republic of Ireland-based indie hip-hop artist KDX is a decision-making demon-slaying knockout kinda song which deserves a few listens to truly appreciate the haunting brilliance on offer. This a soaring sizzler to warm up with when the world feels so cold. There is hope.

As he lifts his dazed head up to see if the spark is still there or if his lover has vanished into the wind, Solum returns with an anthem for all those who have felt their heart shatter into a thousand pieces before with, ‘Hurt Me‘ (feat. Amorii).

‘Hurt Me‘ (feat. Amorii) from the UK-based indie emo rapper Solum, is a catchy single that is filled with that familiar sound that is loved by millions. He leads us into his mind as he shows us all the way in, to his perspective that wonders if he will actually love properly again.

Nicky L merges old school with new wave in his sophomore single ‘Curtains Closed’

Posted on 14 April 2021

New York-born hip hop artist Nicky L’s music journey may have started with the influence of Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac and Nas, but for their latest release, Curtains Closed, they drew in the stylings of XXXTENTACION and Juice WRLD to offer a unique combination of old school and new wave.

The track perfectly captures the bitterness of those young love catastrophes where you can tell that it will be a disaster from the start, but something forces you down that path all the same. It follows on from their debut release, ‘Little City Freestyle’, which served as the perfect introduction to Nicky L’s style where lyrically, he lays it all down on the line and through his delivery, you can hear their determination to join the ranks of NYC hip hop greats. Based on Curtains Closed, it seems likely.

Curtains Closed is available to stream via Spotify.
