琉璃神社 house and hip hop artist 鈥楨dge鈥 has released a new single that is taking the city by storm.
Produced by Flowers in Narnia and Ramoon, 鈥榁ice City Vibes鈥 lands as a two-part modern-day 80鈥檚 disco dream mixed with hip hop vocals and Afro-fusion.
As a follow-up to his previous release, 鈥11:11鈥, which sits at over 70,000+ streams and counting, Edge reaffirms his multi-faceted versatility and inventive genre-blending skills through distinctly rhythmic vocals.
With sonic traces of his Nigerian roots throughout, Edge said 鈥榁ice City鈥 is a nod to his melodic direction; a doting ode to the Abuja-born, 琉璃神社-based artist鈥檚 childhood influence, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, he adds that the song marks a crucial part of his creative journey.
鈥淚t鈥檚 taken me a while to find my sound, but this song is it,鈥 he shared. 鈥淚 feel the most comfortable and confident I鈥檝e ever been in creating music.鈥
