Welcome to the music of life-long percussionist turned rapper, Xs:iQ!!!! Experience Rap through the lens of a Rudimental Snare Drummer. https://linktr.ee/xsiq How would I describe my approach to music?: Athletic Rap, not for the likes of lazy listeners. I give you a consistent stream of semi laid back energy that I call, soft focus. Don't let the terminology mislead you, soft focus is one of my secret weapons. Main Influences?: Vinnie Paz, Hopsin, Ces Cru, Eminem, and Tech N9ne Musical Intent: For Me - I love rhythms. I love the technical aspect to producing rhythms whether it be with my hands or with words, and I love pushing that technique as far as I can take it. I'll be the first to tell you, I'm not trying to change the world with my lyrics. What I want is to create puzzles, and with every new puzzle that I construct, I want to make the pieces that come together to make the full picture more and more intricate and complex. I want my verses to be physically challenging to recite, but above all else, of course, I want to have fun. For The Listener: I talk mad shit, but the intent is not at all to be narcissistic, its sort of the opposite actually. When I talk shit, I want you to put yourself in my shoes and pretend YOU are talking shit. I want my listeners to feel hyped up after listening to my music. The rising tide lifts all ships. 🚢 You can either join the growth, or fear it. The decision is yours to make. xsiq_official on ig | youtube.com/XSIQMUSIC
