Establishing the mood with a dimensional synthscape and textured beats showcasing dynamism and a masterful mix, CYNiKAL opens XRAY ViSiON with evocative and metaphorical prose and a sublime timbre as he takes us on a thought-provoking journey into his universe.
We deeply connect with the astral nuances and detail-driven production from 4.47 FM, intricately woven with CYNiKAL‘s high concept lyricism and intelligent social commentary. Speaking on the message of the release, CYNiKAL references himself in the third person and simply says, “He’s trying his best to do the right thing despite the path of immorality looking like a much easier time.”
There are momentary ad libs which add depth to the opus, and the presence of the flute sound taps into a spiritual frequency, aligned to the overarching message of self-realization which is prevalent throughout CYNiKAL‘s wordplay.
We learn that the rising stars cite 90’s Hip Hop, specifically A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan, Madlib, and J Dilla as sonic influences, which we can feel come through with XRAY ViSiON, although there is no doubt that CYNiKAL and 4.47 FM are manifesting a conscious universe of their very own.
CYNiKAL and 4.47 FM are identical twins and a remarkable musical duo, blending their unique talents to create a deeply resonant sound. CYNiKAL, the rapper and vocalist, and 4.47 FM, the producer and arranger, share a natural synchronicity that translates into a seamless creative process. Their music is characterized by CYNiKAL’s incisive lyrics and powerful delivery, complemented by 4.47 FM’s innovative production. This harmonious interplay results in an opus that is not only captivating but also emotionally and intellectually stimulating, reflecting their shared journey and profound spiritual connection.
Their bond as twins adds a spiritual depth to their collaboration, rooted in their shared genetic makeup and life experiences. This deep connection fosters an intrinsic understanding and empathy, making their partnership not just complementary but intertwined.
We have added the prophetic and profound XRAY ViSiON to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our new TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of both creators, including the instrumental version of the song, and anticipate future releases from CYNiKAL and 4.47 FM!
