NWMN | “Wayside”, Heavy Hitting Banger
Rap Fiesta is all too excited to welcome our latest featured artist, NWMN, and his newest single, “Wayside.” The North Carolina-born musician delivers an emotional performance embodying feelings of rejection and a sudden life change perfectly with his latest song. Trust us, if you don’t know about NWMN yet, it’s time to get on board.
Currently residing in Los Angeles to pursue his music career full-time, NWMN drew inspiration for “Wayside” from a darker moment in his life. That said, the rapper crafted “Wayside” after “quite literally” being thrown by the wayside. Fortunately, Rap Fiesta had the chance to sit down and interview the up-and-coming artist to learn precisely what inspired his latest track.
The song is about experiencing a sudden breakup, losing communication with a significant person in your life, the thoughts you have when experiencing it, as well as the outside social factors involved with it – NWMN.
Because the track touches on such heavy-hitting emotions, NWMN knew he had to carry those feelings into his vocals. And let us tell you, the rapper did all that and more. NWMN’s vocals have a similar feel as iann dior, both in the lyrics and how he effortlessly glides over the beat while addressing emotional topics.
Another detail about NWMN’s artistry that immediately demands attention is the amount of emotion he incorporates into his delivery. What’s impressive in his delivery is that NWMN delicately balances depression and anger. There’s not too much or too little of any emotion, which further speaks to NWMN’s ability to take an experience and express it accurately and honestly.
But we would be remiss if we failed to acknowledge NWMN’s flow on “Wayside.” NWMN has an incredible talent for crafting an emotional flow, compliments the beat’s movement, and hits the ear just right. It’s difficult to describe accurately, but all of NWMN’s different flows just ride with the beat’s energy perfectly,
Speaking of the beat, “Wayside” features a rhythm with an almost overwhelming amount of dark energy. Produced by Paryo, “Wayside” sets the grim tone for the track as soon as you hit play. A heavy bass dominates your attention for the majority of the track. But, even when the bass takes a break during the song’s chorus, “Wayside” still includes a lot of texture that’s audibly pleasing, to say the least.
[Wayside] sets the tone for the album showing the dark undertones to a lot of the downfalls of love and how things sometimes just won’t go our way – NMWN.
Overall, “Wayside” engulfs you in a vibe that feels pensive, a little sinister, and melancholic from start to finish. Every single detail included in “Wayside” will not only grab your attention but hold onto it without remorse. It’s a track you have to experience, and you may just realize NWMN is one of your new favorite artists.
After hearing “Wayside,” you’ll probably be anticipating what’s next from NWMN. Fortunately, the artist is all gas, no brakes for the upcoming months. New singles, an album, and more features are all part of NWMN’s plans. Essentially, the rapper plans on ending 2021 and starting 2022 “with a bang.” That said, it’s the perfect time to start following NWMN on Instagram to stay up to date with all that he’s working on!
