Rising hip-hop artist midwxst is the perfect superstar for the next generation, and he proves this through his latest single “Made It Back” released on July 21. The song is accompanied by a glitched-out, cinematic music video, flawlessly reflecting his genre-bending sound. “Made It Back”, like many of midwxst’s tracks, blend hyperpop with hip-hop, making for an electrifying digital soundscape. The single pops and fizzles, pumped up with heavy beats and evocative lyrics, perfect for jamming out with your friends.
The Indiana native makes a point to stay away from the stereotypical content of rap and instead writes of heavy topics such as mental health and emotion. He is young, relatable, and honest, which is what draws the younger generation to him and makes him so captivating. “Made It Back” follows midwxst’s previous single “Ruthless” and his EP Summer03 released earlier this year. As we savor these last moments of summer, of late nights spent with friends in the sizzling heat, “Made It Back” reminds us of the good times still to come. So make sure to add “Make It Back” to your playlist and keep the party going.
