“I don’t want to go
Sometimes I just want to stay
Lately we just tryin’ to leave it alive
Cause we dyin’ anyway
No, I don’t wanna just exist”
Anak1n drops his 3 track EP, SKYWLKRS and lives up to the promise and flair heard in his last project, Wish Wisely. As he walks forward on his musical oddyssey, his seriousness, energy and dedication come through clearly on this dark and smoky EP. For the opening track, the jazz infused “shadows,” Anak1n brought in songstress Sydny Smith who dazzles with her gorgeous voice and lifts the gravity of the song while complementing Anak1n’s words and flow. He raps, “Used to be this innocent boy, they say what happen to you. I said I changed for the better, struggled, and now I’m Zulu.” Next comes “nobodies” featuring frequent collaborator Shao Doja and his rich deep voice. Shao and K1n have a very distinct chemistry, and I’m excited to hear more from the duo both together and individually. Anak1n ends the project solo with “exist.” P. Soul produced SKYWLKRS in it’s entirety and set the perfect stage for Anak1n’s trip. Best known for his work with Trapo, it’s nice to hear another talented young artist on P. Soul’s beats. The project was mixed and mastered by Sherpa and cover art credit to Chandler M. King. Get to know this young artist, you’ll definitely be hearing more from Anak1n soon.
