On his latest single, MRK SX combines honest moods with smooth beats and melodies. HIYA features delicately passionate vocals, heavy yet mellow-paced beats, and lyrics that speak directly to listeners.
The MRK SX is the entire package. MRK SX is one of the game’s best-kept secrets, hailing from the deep hip-hop ground of Detroit and currently residing in Atlanta. The Air Force veteran also has a Bachelor’s degree in audio production, so he is home in any creative environment.
Crooked I (KXNG Crooked), Royce Da 5’9″, Killer Mike, Obie Trice, Swifty McVay & Kuniva from D-12, Yukmouth, Bobby Creekwater, Speech from Arrested Development, and many others have co-signed MRK SX. Artists don’t just go around co-signing unsigned artists, so what makes MRK SX so unique?
His clever wordplay, harmonic and melodic hooks quickly satisfy underground hip hop heads and mainstream hip hop music fans.
MRK SX demonstrates a clear understanding of creating an ambiance and a moment, both musically and vocally, with his releases. HIYA introduces that style of creativity in an instant, gradually enveloping its listeners in a contemporary and calm soundscape.
Following that, the vocal takes on a more familiar and intensely unique form, effectively nodding to the popular sound of today’s hip-hop landscape. Still, the beat keeps things interesting, and the music that washes over you as it progresses works well to create a sense of peace and contrast with the vocal’s rhythm and outspoken personality.
In nature, the whole thing becomes too addictive; you thrash the replay button just to grab those bars again, to lose yourself in the richness and shadows of the sound, and to try to get a better impression of the concept in general finally.
HIYA is a fascinating song from an artist that is clearly determined to carve their own musical path. I’m curious to see where their artistry takes them in the future.
