Blindfold | ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, Israeli Trap Album
Rap Fiesta is going international with this next project. Blindfold out of Israel recently dropped a SoundCloud exclusive trap album titled ‘Dark Side Of The Moon. The 9 track album was released on August 13th, 2020 and dives into the daily trials and tribulations that Blindfold faces daily.
“Taking Xannies like its Advil, wanna stop the pain I’m feeling. I don’t know how to explain this feeling, I don’t know how to escape this feeling.”
What’s super impressive about this album is that Blindfold resides in Israel and performs the entire album in English, which is not his native tongue. His Israeli-English accent combined with his ability to lace up trap beats with heavy bars makes for an intricate combination. David Rakem MizzHitBeatz, Astrae, Karn and Blindfold lead the production on the album with dark trap strings and exquisite ominous sounds. With only a year and a half under his belt, Blindfold is on a bright trajectory and ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ is a testament to it.
On tracks like ‘F*ck All The Haters (Freestyle),’ he executes a venomous flow that makes the listener feel like Blindfold is coming for their heads. With incision like lyrics & blazing ad-libs, this track makes for a chaotic effect. It gives us early ‘Look At Me!’ XXXtentacion vibes in its bewildering beauty. With a lot of anti-semitism in the news lately, Blindfold touches on it briefly & addresses it. His willingness to take on conflict head-on & masquerade it into a sizzling banger is delightful.
His album also gives off a sweet sense of diversity. Immediately after the hard intro track, he displays his versatility and showcases a more melodic side on ‘Illusion.’. He showcases the singing ability & flows to mesh the seams. On ‘Moonlight’, he allows the bright tones to shine. He’s not limited to one style of rapping & his ability to adapt to different sounds is apparent throughout the project.
If you need something to wake you up & get your blood flowing- ‘Misfit’ is definitely the joint for you. This track has crazy energy & is extremely hype. It’s outrageous, it’s loud and it will surely shake you up. We highly advise bumping this joint at high volume. ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ has symphonies for everyone, and that should be the greatest quality you take away from it. Whether you want to rage, or chill- Blindfold has a track for every mood. Here at Rap Fiesta we were curious as to how the Israeli rapper dubbed his moniker and he was kind enough to give us an insightful response,
My stage name is what every human being has on their face daily… A blindfold. Everybody sees what people want them to see and I’m not gonna be hasty and say I don’t have… I think every one of us sees only a part of the bigger picture so everybody has a cover on their eyes metaphorically of course. – Blindfold
With a brand new album leading the way, we’re curious to see what Blindfold drops next. As for now, this will have to hold you over until the next drop. Be sure to follow Blindfold on Instagram for more heaters.
