Life can throw some curveballs at us…
The future we wish for might not be the same as the future we deserve, or even the future we’ll grow into and frame us in our best version of ourselves….
…that’s too deep, ok, let’s take a couple of steps back and see what it means to have your life flipped upside down…but catapults you into being your best self…
Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L, a rising star from Brooklyn, New York, USA has been releasing awesome music…however that was not his first calling in life…
Breon started pursuing his passion drag racing…but life served him a huge curveball…he was involved in an accident that basically ended his pursuit of happiness in drag racing…he was out, a very difficult situation that it…having to stop going after what you love…or at least that was what Breon was challenged with at the time.
Being out of the drag racing game, Breon spent more time in the studio…day after day, night after night…he began to delve deeper and deeper into creating music, he focused more and more, finding himself releasing music more often.
Breon is now releasing his new album “Buy Me Some Time”.
Even with life pushing him, Breon is a fighter, a pursuer of dreams, and it’s not like he’s doing music on the side, he’s actually releasing music of the highest caliber.
“Buy Me Some Time” is a 7-track, 20-minute rap EP full of brilliant hooks, amazing lyrics, and top-quality production.
Let’s dive into this world of emotions that Breon created in his album and check it out…
…we start from “Hi-Speed”, the first song of the EP…
It is such an energetic start to the EP.
“Hi-Speed” starts out with huge anthemic synth sounds, a literal wall of sound.
The melody is catchy and the production puts you in an energetic mood…as the title suggests, it feels like you’re going 200 on the highway, steady, but full of adrenaline.
Going into “Big Monster”, Breon took a similar approach of a huge and sudden intro like the first track…they have some commonalities, and that helps with the transition and flow of the EP.
However, the emotional energy is different, this has less adrenaline.
…and again, the focus and highlight are Breon’s lyrics, flow, and vocal melodies…which all hit the bullseye.
Moving to the third track in the EP, “Sunrise”…
A completely different and unique narrative, the intro has a 16-bit musicality to it.
The intro has instruments that sound as if taken directly from an SNES.
All sounds are absolutely ear-catching, fresh, and unique…something you rarely experience these days.
This song is one-of-a-kind, it’s more chill…so after two strong anthemic songs, Breon takes our emotional dynamics and takes and gives us some time to chill a bit.
Going to the fourth track “Double or Nothin”, it’s more leaning to trap/rap this time around…and something that was impressive is at the middle point, where Breon spits a lot with the absolute zen-like flow.
Showing his love of racing once again, we find ourselves at the fifth track “GoGo Kart”.
Breon is not letting go of his passion of driving, whether it’s in the naming of the songs, his lyrics or even being upfront with that passion.
This time around the song starts as if it was a lo-fi track…and maybe it has lo-fi elements to it, both musically and sound choice wise.
This is the chillest track so far in the EP and it’s obvious that Breon has masterfully crafted his music and also positioned the songs in a way and in an order that would take control over your emotions and push you where he wants you to be exactly.
Once again we’re taken back to the big anthemic sudden intros with Breon’s sixth track “Battlefield”. This time around, Breon mixes SNES sounds with rap and trap elements to create a unique song that sounds fresh, while always maintaining his high standards of his catchy melodic hooks.
Jumping to the last track of the EP, we find ourselves at “Lemon Squeezy”…a track that represents itself as the culmination of everything Breon was doing across the EP…this track has everything in one place.
Killer flow, brilliant beat, catchy melodic hooks, great instrumentation and layering.
This song can be different sonically and unique in its vocal delivery than the rest of the album, yet it fits perfectly as the last song of the EP, putting the audience in an emotional bubble that has been already laid out and planned for by Breon since the first track…he paved the way for the audience, to take them on this journey, a worthwhile journey for all rap and trap fans, while being accessible to anyone who wants to start jumping into this world.
Breon, we’re wishing you all the best in the world…and we can’t wait for the new stuff you’ll be releasing in the future.
Cheers!
