Arkansas Emcee and Artist Trill Soulutionary Sets the Empowering Pace for the New Year with His Lyrically Heavy Single, “Pitstop.”
When we talk about hip-hop music, I know it’s easy to think of the mediocre, half-baked wannabe artists flooding the industry with monotonous, ill-sounding music. And while no one can blame you for feeling that way towards a genre that has slowly faded away from the intrigue of the masses, there is hope for the sound, and it is coming from the most unlikely sources…or in this case, not very well-known or simply underrated artists. For me, one such artist, the budding rapper Trill Soulutionary, stands out. He has been creating a musical experience that transcends the boundaries of sound.
In the spirit of giving him his flowers while he can still smell them, I invite all hip-hop music aficionados and enthusiasts to lend an ear, and they will not be disappointed. The golden age of hip-hop would be proud, and so would the new age. For Trill, there is no border or era that his sound is beholden to. He is a visionary who does not believe in self-limitation when it comes to his creativity, and that is what has slowly allowed him to eminently rise to the stratosphere, breaking molds and stereotypes and inspiring upcoming musicians to lend their expertise in this transient space.
Let’s talk about his latest release, “Pitstop” for a minute. This is a blazing masterpiece that sees Trill effortlessly blend masterful, provocative, and intellectual bars with such a self-empowering theme behind his articulate wordplay.
Everything really stands out; the 9-second interlude over the haunting and subtly touched piano sets the prelude right before the heavy trap foundation is dropped, rattling the speakers as Trill breathes life, immediately sucking you in with that unforgettable hook that is the capstone of this bona fide anthem.
And let’s dissect this masterpiece, shall we? Beyond the analytical, creatively referential, and metaphorical bars is an inspiring anthem meant to encourage one to keep going, to take some time off and break, reflect, and replenish his energies before powering away towards their destination. This is what ultimately separates the men from the boys, the wannabes from the achievers, – gatekeepers from the owners.
This is not just a showcase of Trill’s lyrical prowess; it marks a relentless journey characterized by failure, success, and most importantly, growth. He has simply refused to back down, no matter what challenges he has encountered, leveraging them and transforming them into fuel to reach the next higher step. He is on his way to claim greatness, and nothing can stand in his way…he has come so far to look back!
“Pitstop” is the anthem we needed to kick off the year with renewed energy and belief. Something to remind us of what we are capable of achieving of only we commit and give ourselves time to reflect, recharge, and continue pressing with revitalized energy and power. Its impact is amplified by the blazing beat that punches right through the chest.
Trill’s words are exuded in visual and vivid allure; it’s like reading a book and forming the images in your head. Not so many artists have this capability of creating music that evokes a certain strong emotion from within and makes you reflect long after the final notes fade away. All the more reason to give Soulutionary a try. He’s got this rap thing figured out and is offering the solution to what is slowly becoming unrecognizable.
The more you listen to “Pitstop”, the more your mind opens up to all the possibilities, and the more you feel unconquerable as you set the pace for your own destination—the words “long away ahead, gotta keep the distance” reverberating in your head like a mantra!
