Endorphins - octavian
London rapper and producer Octavian has released his latest mixtape, Endorphins.
I just want to start by saying if you have yet to hear SPACEMAN, from Octavian.. you need to stop reading this right now. I am assigning you some homework.
Okay, let us get to why you are really here. Octavian the fast-rising futuristic rapper has remained daringly eclectic in his display of hip-hop’s thriving music scene, melding sonic euphoria, as the title states endorphins, from the US to the UK to bring forth is most feature-packed project to-date. The new project features Skepta, Smokepurpp, A$AP Ferg, and Abra.
After releasing the remix to single “Bet” as well as “Lit” earlier this year, in this new project, Octavian doesn’t shy away from exposing his raspy flow, making it the album’s staple alongside well-articulated instrumentation and production. Still, however, the rapper shows a sense of improvement through an effort to scope out new visions and sounds, serving as another medium to showcase his capabilities as both artist and musician.
Some of my favorite tracks from the project include, Risking Our Lives , Molly Go Down & My Head (feat. ABRA)
To hone in on the project, Octavian has also provided a visual for “Feel It” featuring Theophilus London, which serves as a visual diary for his recent trip to Los Angeles.
