Movies

West London’s Xadi demonstrates his versatility on the tender, lucid and reflective ’Movies’. An artist whose stock has been rising at a quickening pace, Xadi has built a reputation for conscientious, meaningful writing and genre fluid, sincere instrumentals. On the new single, the rappers progression and skill is bountiful, contributing perceptual thematic writing and serene, buttery production.

The self produced beat is spacey and melancholic, with atmospheric, reverb-glossed synths and plunging bass offering great sonic depth. Xadi offers up a strong range of flows and an ear for heartfelt melodies, alluding to his impressive vocal range. Lyrically there is potent imagery and condensed ideologies as Xadi narrates to an ex lover, depicting the anxiety and anguish that the relationship has caused him.

A mobile phone ballad for the modern age, Xadi seems to improve with every release. If he continues to maintain consistency, he is well on the way to becoming a renowned name in the UK hip hop scene.
