In a world where new music is constantly being produced every day, it takes a little more than a simple beat and riff to make something engaging and captivating at the same time. Fortunately, there are some who go above and beyond to bring something special to audiences, and perhaps the future of music lies in their hands. Bam is the newest artist in the market of hip-hop, his music is unique, and he has his own style, inspired by an eclectic range of artists from different genres.
“Bam” is an artist who displays an attempt to jump forward on this latest release “Opp Eater”, bringing music fans something that not only feels right to fill the rap scene, but also something worthy to go with drill rap festival nights. The accompanying video highlights the artist’s passion for music.
A single flowing, multi-layered synth backdrop fills the room with a sense of possibility and warmth. There’s a lightness to the sound, and everything floats up a bit as it plays – even Bam’s lead vocals are fed in a way that suits this dreamlike atmospheric aura perfectly. It’s nice to have the whole thing around you, and when it’s over there’s a deafening silence; All of this before you consider the lyrics.
The lyrics are definitely where the strength lies, the simple melody of the hook has some relevance today, for sure – Bam knows how to create easy-going melodies for modern fans of the genre – it’s the lyrics and the flow. Verses that are a little taller in this case; Especially the way they contrast with the soft environment in the background. Then the song appears like a short scene revealed when the curtain is drawn. After this, the lyrics work to find a deft balance between the incredibly personal and the more widely accessible.
The experiences and ideas dictated seem true to an individual character, which is what true fans tend to really appreciate and find honest and endearing in an artist they admire. A lot of the lines also seem a little fuzzy, so at the same time you get something that’s easy to relate to and relate to. That’s often what people turn to hip hop or rap for in the first place.
