“Sometimes even the prettiest people in the world can have the most twisted things occurring in their lives and edges that you would never know existed until you’ve experienced them,” midwxst tells AP. “Pretty girls can be very dangerous to the heart.”
The new track signals his impending next chapter, as the young rapper gears up for his major-label debut album, E3, scheduled to come out later this year via Geffen Records.
“Things aren’t always what they seem. That’s what I’ve learned from my experience,” midwxst says. As the Indiana native hovers somewhere between hyperpop and rap, rage beats and ballads, tender sincerity and unbridled confidence, his debut record promises unexpected contradictions and complexity.
