X’s latest album shows a maturity in his sound and how he’s gone from rapper to artist. Experimenting with different melodies and tones, the sad simple piano beat sets a melancholy vibe throughout.
I have a lot of respect for artists who can change their style album to album and although he’s still labeled a rapper I believe he’s just trying to create good music now.
Breaking down the song lyrically it’s nothing crazy but the vocal layers add depth to his singing to create a trance. The repetitive melody is super catchy and easy to get stuck in your head so proceed with caution when listening.
This track fits perfectly in those late night situations where you can’t sleep and your mind is racing. Definitely relaxing and calm to zone out to in bed.

About The Curator - Dan Rendine
Bio - Growing up in the north western part of NJ, I’ve gotten to experience a taste of different musical influences from the old school era hip hop of NY to the classic rock blue collar sound of Springsteen to the angsty suburban teen punk emo scene. This led me to pick up a pair of drumsticks and start playing which I’m lucky enough to currently do. Graduating from Bloomsburg University in 2016 I’m now residing in Philly with my band Moonroof (whom I met while in college). Music has become more than a passion and I’m beyond excited to share what influences me as a listener. If you want to keep up with myself or my band, check out our social media below!
