x!d3n: The Seattle Artist Making Waves in Underground Rap

Hailing from Seattle, WA, x!d3n is an up-and-coming artist whose sound is rooted in the expressive world of underground rap. Drawing heavy inspiration from the genre-defining sounds of Lil Uzi Vert, Juice WRLD, and Trippie Redd, x!d3n felt an undeniable pull to music back in 2016. For him, the allure wasn’t just in listening to tracks but in the feeling of "geeking out" to songs that tapped deep into his emotions. It was this sense of connection and self-expression that motivated him to create music, ultimately shaping his own musical journey.

His latest release, “dr!nk,” is a raw exploration of sorrow and introspection. With its watery, rippled rap style layered over ambient beats, the track reflects the overwhelming emotions of drowning in one’s own struggles. According to x!d3n, “dr!nk” symbolizes a drink you could potentially drown in, a metaphor for facing one’s deepest vulnerabilities. The track’s meaning resonates with listeners who have experienced similar emotional turbulence, making it both personal and relatable.

x!d3n’s career took a significant step forward when he landed his first performance at a venue in Seattle on April 12th, opening for Chxpo, a notable underground rap artist from the 2016 era. This milestone showcased his growing presence in the local rap scene and solidified his commitment to pursuing music as a serious career.

Looking ahead, x!d3n is focused on continuing to grind both in the music world and in his personal growth. Recently enrolling in a music program, he’s determined to take his artistry to the next level. For him, there’s no looking back. After missing too many opportunities in the past, he’s ready to seize every chance life presents and see where his passion for music can take him. With his unique sound and drive, x!d3n is poised for a breakout year.
