Ali Sahir | “GOLD FRAMES”, Musical Ecstasy
Rap Fiesta is more than ready to introduce a new rapper to the platform; Ali Sahir. The up-and-coming rapper’s latest single, “GOLD FRAMES,” is a complex weave of musical influences and confident vocals. When everything comes together, Ali Sahir busts through the speakers and slaps you with creative energy you can’t help but succumb to.
Originally from Worcester, Massachusetts, Ali Sahir took his rap career to the next level upon moving to Atlanta. Since June, the artist has fully embraced the city’s underground hip-hop scene. And with heaters like “GOLD FRAMES” on his portfolio, don’t be surprised when Ali Sahir starts boasting a well-deserved mass following.
Ali Sahir’s confidence is an element of his music that you immediately notice and even start to embody yourself. That said, the rapper’s certainty in his sound traces back to his time spent learning and surrounding himself with music. Since 11, Ali Sahir has been making music, initially starting in his childhood bedroom.
Part of Ali Sahir’s intrigue is the depth his music holds. For example, “GOLD FRAMES” was inspired by a relatively “normal” life situation. After Ali Sahir broke his glasses, he was forced to essentially live blind for a couple of weeks. Using the circumstances as a creative opportunity, the rapper used it as a metaphor for “GOLD FRAMES.”
When I was working on the beat for the song, I started looking back on how transformative that period of time was for me, and it instantly inspired the hook for it. The song ended up being about being able to see clearly after a period of not knowing where to go – Ali Sahir.
“GOLD FRAMES,” produced by Ali Sahir himself, headlines a beat that you can’t get enough of. A heavy bass periodically makes an appearance, adding an immense amount of hype each time. On top of that, the rhythm pulls elements from Asian musical influences. The result? A wavy, energetic beat that pulsates tenacity.
Lately, I’ve been inspired by my Pakistani and Indian heritage and have been incorporating heavy usage of Eastern Asian and South Asian samples in my beats – Ali Sahir.
Lyrically speaking, Ali Sahir is on a different level than his peers. Throughout “GOLD FRAMES,” the artist effortlessly references pop culture, his life story, and arrogant jabs at the haters. As Ali Sahir blends his slick lyrics with a confident flow, “GOLD FRAMES” holds a particular type of energy you want to soak in.
Ali Sahir’s been working, and “GOLD FRAMES” makes that undeniably apparent. Currently, the rapper is building a name for himself with the underground community in the hip-hop capital. While Ali Sahir continues growing in that scene, he also plans on traveling to develop a presence across the country.
