Rochester New York’s Xan Marino Is Back With a Tremendously Crafted Melancholic Single Dubbed “Hope You Die”

Unfolding his genius, developing his artistic talent on the mic, deepening his character as an independent artist, and escalating his speed to the top is his game is the versatile and sensationally talented hip-hop artists Xan Marino who hails from Rochester in New York. Ever since coming through with his 2018 “Philosophy” album, he has surpassed the sky limit and is headed for the entire space like he’s from NASA! His style envelops rap fluidity blended with a powerful instrumental play that borrows its melodic leaves from a vibrant affair of hip-hop and trap style. As a wizard of words, Xan Marino is no short of wisdom as he dives in the beats with his expansive and lyrically transcending flair, keeping a listener glued from the first line all the way to the last one as they marvel at such lyrical and rap dexterity!

“Hope You Die” is his latest single and everything you need to know is felt right from the title! Sometimes we fall in love with the wrong people and before we know it, we find out we are being used and the other person whom we thought harbored the same feelings for us actually doesn’t and in the end you end up getting hurt and feeling that much of your time was wasted- if that is the case, this is the anthem for you as you reclaim back your power and gather the courage to move on with your life, focusing on your goals and dreams. In contrast to the melancholic lyrics, the beats and groove emanating from this tune is anything but sad!

In the intro you will have your 15 seconds of glorious swing as the skilled fingerprints touch and flourish on that piano with breathtaking proficiency, forming a cinematic quality and allowing for space and depth to when the abundantly layered hip-hop beats follow escorted with creative freedom by Marino’s vocals that jump in sing-song rap style forming an infectious groove with intriguing and catchy hooks with “I used to love you girl, now I hope you die” forming part of the chorus!

He balances his flows effectively- ebbing and flowing with the beats and dropping some rap flows and heavy bars in between the rap-singing in the chorus. And “Hope You Die” feels like a Rollie and not a stopwatch with the way it never stops from the intro to the outro! This is music for the soul and you can get to vibe with it by following the attached link and adding it to your 2022 playlist as you should!
