Have you ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time? Many artists share the relatability of drug addiction which leads to them getting mixed up with the police, we’ve seen it with Lil Peep and many more artists – hence leading to a musical platform full of the romanticising of drugs.
Enter rising trap artist Shxe, after his own battles with drugs, Shxe is back with his biggest and deepest song yet, and instead of putting drugs into the light ‘Stardust’ tells the story of how Shxe is making a change to who he was before after a serious overdose in February, which left paramedics fighting to revive him. Now, ‘Stardust’ is released and we can’t help but feel in awe of Shxe’s story.
Since his high school years, Shxe identified as a rapper after impressing his friends with a freestyle at 14 years old, since then he’s made hundreds of songs, but what makes ‘Stardust’ so standalone? Firstly, Shxe blends together his unique vocal tonality which flows over a bouncy instrumental, to top it off Shxe’s impressive lyrics on top of this portrays a deep and enticing story that’ll leave you with goosebumps and wanting more from the artist.
The lines ‘Telling everyone that I’m the right one. When I’m fading, let me die fast not slow’ is an example of a real-life situation Shxe has been in making his song a musical representation. This creates raw and impactful experiences for his audience and anyone who has been through similar.
In a world where we sugarcoat our hard experiences, Shxe breaks the boundaries of storytelling, making him an artist you need on your playlist, especially if you’re in the mood for some real deep lyrics that captivate you into a sense of ‘what if’ and ‘gratefulness.’
There’s no telling how deeper that unique artist can go, but what we do know is we can’t wait to see more real emotion from him.
