Pseudo Sxss has released his new single, "To the moon and back," a heartfelt yet hard-hitting effort in drill and alternative hip-hop that's unlike anything you'll hear on the airwaves today. A sinister meddle of African hip-hop rhythms and drill's gritty textures, the song serves as a seductive message from young men in love with both loyalty and the streets.
"To the moon and back" juggles intensity with intimacy. The percussion strikes with the drill's trademark punch here, but these melodic undercurrents lend the track a softer, even hypnotic edge that further echoes the openness behind the fronting. The fact that Pseudo Sxss manages to be this brusque and sensitive at the same time is what makes their delivery feel so assuredly tender, that combo of street-smart strength and raw feeling. The track is a promise of love so boundless they say "to the moon and back."
Grounded in the stark realities of ghetto life, its expression of love is surprisingly free from clichés and offers romance with sincerity, as well as a modern, urban sensibility. The mixture of African hip-hop influences spins a unique twist that delivers sounds both culturally rich and globally relatable. Pseudo Sxss is evidence that drill carries heart, desire, and devotion. It's a song that sounds good blasting from club speakers and headphones, making you feel the promise behind each line. For fans of street-savvy, deeply felt hip-hop, Pseudo Sxss's latest is a promise that love, regardless of where you grow up, can be as fierce and unforgettable as the sound it inspires.
