Xang’s Journey: From Self-Doubt to WOMB
Evolution of Artistry
Xang’s latest album, WOMB, showcases a transformation in his vocal delivery, presenting a clarity that distinguishes it from his earlier works. Previously, his vocals functioned more as atmospheric elements rather than vehicles for lyrical expression. Reflecting on his past approach, Xang noted, “I didn’t care enough to even try to pronounce the words. It was just how I’m feeling it right now.” In contrast, WOMB paints a more intricate portrait of Xang, depicting a complex figure grappling with the duality of violence and vulnerability.
Challenges and Resilience
In a candid moment during a recent conversation, Xang expressed, “Six months ago, I told myself I was done rapping.” This statement marked a period of introspection for the artist, who has been living independently since he was 19. He pondered whether he could find greater fulfillment beyond his music career. However, the support from his fans and his creative community at DPM reignited his passion and inspired him to pursue WOMB. He acknowledged feeling a sense of unresolved ambition that urged him back into the studio.
Innovative Approaches in Music
Xang understands the need for innovation in today’s music industry. He stated, “I do know the times we are in, you got to be innovative. You got to hit them with something they never heard before.” This mindset reflects his commitment to growth and adaptation, ensuring that his music resonates with listeners in unique ways.
Upcoming Collaborations
In addition to WOMB, Xang is also working on collaborative projects with artists such as Chinapoet, .cutspace, and theo. These upcoming tapes promise to further showcase his versatility and willingness to explore new musical landscapes.
