Though the present intersection between hip-hop and pop exists within quite a wide variety of modern sounds and styles alike, its most vivid representation is most likely seen through the ever-prolific acts that make up grander online music space as a whole. The best artists within that very space are taking advantage of this fact and are utilizing it to their highest level possible, crafting appealing and moving tracks that still have a level of flow, intensity, and directness to them.
Amongst each and every artist that is expertly communicating that notion in full effect is Kaixan — without question one of the most integral acts that is keeping this dynamic spirit alive within their music through each and every single offering they have in store. The eminent Graveem1nd member has proven to master both the art of tried and true modern hip-hop while simultaneously displaying their pop prowess on each successful single that they drop, culminating recently in the incredibly delivered “Tic Tac Toe.”
The single is arguably the most vivid picture that has come to represent how Kaixan has taken their artful sense of both aforementioned genres and applied them both at an unmatched and unprecedented level. This track is nothing short of infectious in every sense of the word, from their own performance on the mic all the way down to the remarkably constructed instrumental.
The beat itself is simple on its own, but it does all it needs to in assisting Kaixan’s front and center performance on the mic. Guami and Glasear developed the most ideal background for them to embellish on, and that is exactly what they come to do throughout the entire track.
Whether it’s through the resounding chorus or the artfully placed and lowkey bridge sections on the track, Kaixan glides over this beat with all the grace in the world in delivering quite the gripping offering in the process.
