As numerology stans, we were excited and intrigued by the elusive BTMG Xino’s latest release “Numbers”, distributed by Distrokid.
The track opens with an almost MC Solaar-esque intro that is bright with the keys, leading in with a bell chime, followed by the mysterious BTMG Xino’s seamless flow amidst refined kicks and 808s. With timeless and neat vocal delivery and production, BTMG Xino really comes through with intricate and moving lyricism.
Themes of the song from a literal “Numbers” standpoint are the costs of life in this day and age and what BTMG Xino offers is a commentary to bring this to life in a physical reality but also transcendentally.
We particularly love the down pitched vocal textures and the bright bell sounds in Numbers. The track is already popping off in Los Angeles and London according to streaming statistics, some iconic locations showing that really powerful talent is coming out of Cincinnati.
As for the artwork, we are in love with the blue tones and Matrix style futurist-nostalgia. BTMG Xino’s pose speaks volumes about the state of the system, we can’t wait to hear more from him! Come through Cincinnati.
