A product of Manchester’s historic hip hop scene, UK rapper, JESUS THE APOLLO, has relentlessly shown their ambition since emerging onto the airwaves a few short years ago ,as they seize every opportunity they make for themself. Anchored in an assertive style of lyrical delivery that builds anticipation with every bar, the artist demonstrates their aural proclivities with an undeniable presence in every track they release. Their latest single, THE VILLAIN!, proves a robust addition to their already illustrious repertoire, as it defines so many of the musical dispositions of the artists throughout its verses.
An ominous beat drops to begin the piece, and we immediately feel immersed in the world of the music from the introductory seconds. Building suspense through the composition of the tonal musicality, the rhythm draws us in and holds attention from the first moments. The artist’s vocals appear soon after, and with a booming bass-resonance, they begin the narrative with the declarative opening line “He’s cool, yada yada, whatever. I told you I’ve been in my villain era.” Spoken in a distorted tone, yet retaining a clear and crisp style of diction, we see the persona of the artist on full display as they showcase their profile through their delivery.
Bold, authoritative, and nuanced, the single makes a powerful statement about their talents and direction of the artist’s creative agenda with this latest release. Having accomplished so much with this track, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming next from their mind and studio.
