KxneThaDemxn | ‘1996’ ,Inventive Lyrics & Retro Rap Vibe
Galloway, New Jersey native KxneThaDemxn brings an old school rap feel to his track’ 1996,’ with his vintage flow supported by a wavy beat. KxneThaDemxn’s song ‘1996‘ is just one track on his latest EP, entitled ‘Lost Tapes (Circa 2020).’ The New Jersey rapper showcases his fast-paced, steady flow throughout his entire EP, proving he’s ready to make a name for himself in the hip-hop world.
Anger and determination. Those are the two emotions that inspired KxneThaDemxn’s style of rapping on ‘1996.’ And he certainly makes sure his built-up aggression is felt throughout the song. The musician kept a vision of himself in the future as he spits the bars on ‘1996.’ At Rap Fiesta, we got to interview KxneThaDemxn and learn what was in the back of his mind while he was crafting ‘1996.’
I was thinking to myself, ‘You know if I want to be one of the best, I got to act like one.’ That’s why I was rapping the way I was; just to be really confident. – KxneThaDemxn
KxneThaDemxn admits it was challenging to find a beat that matched the energy he wanted to express on ‘1996.’ Produced by llouis, ‘1996’ stars a slow-moving rhythm with an apparent old school feel. Mixing soft piano notes, snare drums, and a slow bass, ‘1996’ has a beat that unexpectedly complements KxneThaDemxn’s aggressive rap style.
KxneThaDemxn keeps you at the edge of your seat at the beginning of the song. He lets the beat playout for the first 20 seconds before the bass kicks in. After the bass drops, KxneThaDemxn doesn’t wait to start spitting some heat with a bold, fierce tone in his voice.
The New Jersey musician hardly takes a breath as he raps throughout ‘1996.’ One aspect of his flow that immediately catches your attention is his unique choice of words that he rhymes with one another. With all the sly disses and clever cultural references, you have to listen to ‘1996’ twice to fully appreciate KxneThaDemxn’s lyrical structure.
KxneThaDemxn began working on his craft early in life, at only 14 years old. However, he recently started taking his music more seriously for the past two years. The fact that KxneThaDemxn is only 18 carries heavy anticipation of the growth and development in his music.
Just as unique as his music is KxneThaDemxn’s meaning behind his stage name. The artist chose the name to express his drive and work ethic. The New Jersey native chose to include the word ‘demon’ in his name to express how much energy he’s putting into reaching monetary and musical success.
The second part of his name is the word ‘Kane.’ ‘Kane’ in Japanese translates to ‘Golden.’ So, KxneThaDemxn means ‘Golden Demon,’ expressing that the artist is a demon with the ability to see the light and dark side of life.
