Take one listen to “HONEST” off of STATZ’s newest Original EP and I promise you’ll be recalling the chorus days after the first 15 seconds! The digestible rap-based beat with harmonious undertones, allows the song to seamlessly become added to your favorite House music playlist. Alternative rap is climbing through the trendy music cracks as it allows you to enjoy a beat while feeling the eclectic lyrics that seep through the 808s.
This EP is chained with concepts found in the title. Love/Life is a common attribute of human life and songs like “PLEASE DONT BREAK MY HEART” and “HONEST” paint STATZ’s unique journey through life. The beats and choruses are used to prime the stories that make you relate while swaying to the music.
Rap is a great music genre but sometimes the vibes can be on the aggressive side, but with alternative rap, there is room to expand instrument options. LOVE/LIFE does just that, by incorporating modern and mellow jazz keys over a sophisticated drum beat. The tracks on this EP have the ability to play all day long. Once you step back and enjoy and listen closely to the beautifully curated beats and relatable lyrics you can be sure to like this release immediately.
STATZ’s intricate details about love and relationships in this EP refer to this project’s title as a double entendre showcasing the importance of “loving the life you live and living the life you love”. Throughout each track, you get a glimpse into the way this mantra is portrayed in STATZ’s life. So if you want to start an intentional journey into the world of love, life, relationships, and experiences listen to LOVE/LIFE and play it back a couple of times.
