Up-and-at-it Rapper And Artist From Florida, Akso3 Pours His Soul Out With The Heartfelt Release “Dusse Oceans”
While he considers himself another kid on the block, he sure isn’t just another rapper in the ever-evolving music industry. AKSO3 is a lyrically fit muse with a knack for lyrical metaphors, double entendres, imagery, and expressive wordplay, coming through with a flow and cadence that is authentically his. He is a self-taught audio engineer and video editor and just recently delved into beat production, making the beats for his last three jams. Why AKSO3? Someone might ask. Well, in an era where hip-hop has been bashed for its lack of originality and authenticity, this lyrical prowess brings just that and adds his own personal-fueled tales for emotional depth, capturing the trials and triumphs of growing up in the streets, losing his loved ones, serving prison time, drowning in alcoholism, and so much more. So you see, it is so much more than the captivating and infectious beats—the lyrical weight and emotional depth are just as worthwhile.
“Dusse Oceans” is a heartfelt and profoundly touching hip-hop masterpiece delivered from AKSO3’s heart into a listener’s soul. It captures his personal battles with losing his loved ones and a close confidant, specifically captured with the lines “RIP 3,” trying to cope with the loss and emotional toil this had on him, leading into depression where the cognac was his closest friend as he tried to navigate this period of inconsolable grief, especially after having served time in prison.
The intro is mellow, with somber, solemn keys that immediately set a melancholic tone. The opening of the bottle, signified by the ‘pop’ sound, is very significant to this jam, and so is the gushing of water, symbolic of ‘drowning.’
With the quiet, somber, and introspective tone sufficiently laid, the track’s tempo is upped with booming basslines and contemporary hip-hop elements dripping in lively yet restrained order to allow for the deep words and AKSO3’s commanding vocals to take center stage.
AKSO3 is confident with an effortlessly cool cadence, showcasing an unmistakable blend of heartfelt verses and bars that are delivered in the form of thought-provoking wordplay, an emotion-drenched chorus that is memorable, and unfeigned bars, making “Dusse Oceans” a standout jam throughout.
The accompanying music video is a well-thought-out idea that complements this tune perfectly, both in storyline and symbolism, as it matches the mood and tone of the track’s inspiration.
The lines “Tryna drawn my heart in dusse oceans” are very powerful and encapsulate AKSO3’ escape into alcohol to try and cope with the heartbreaking loss happening in his life.
Overall, “Dusse Oceans” is a catchy, infectious, memorable, emotional, and heartfelt masterpiece that deserves critical acclaim. Check it below and add it to your own favorite catalog to find solace now and again.
