Michigan’s blxkout, still in his early twenties, has gone from bedroom beatmaker to one of the more interesting young voices in the underground. THE HIGH TAPES, Vol. 1 is his six-song statement of where he is now, and the first chapter of a bigger story.
The sound leans on deep bass and 808s inside of an unhurried pace, with each track telling a different story . “Smoking This Weed (feat. Xander Pages)” gives the slowest, murkiest moment, while “Let's Get High!" uplifts and gives the beat room to breathe. "Myself" (feat. Xephyrine)" pulls the heart strings of the listener wit its emotionally driven lyricism and soulful production, followed by “Freestyle On My Porch (+1)” which omits the bass for a more raw and unapologetic take, peeking inside the mind of the genius behind this short series.
At about 20 minutes, it's tight, cohesive, and perfect for those who partake in the ignitable flower. Vol. 2 can't come soon enough.
For fans of: Kendrick Lamar, Mick Jenkins, Joey Badass, MAVI, Tyler, The Creator, Noname, J. Cole, and Smino
blxkout makes music that lives in the in-between — between vulnerability and power, chaos and control, reflection and rebellion. With a sound that refuses to stay in one lane, he weaves raw emotion, sharp lyricism, and experimental production into something unmistakably his own. Influenced by the depth of Kendrick Lamar and the creative fearlessness of Tyler, The Creator, his work feels less like a genre and more like a world.
Every track is personal — a thought process turned into rhythm, a feeling wrapped in distortion or clarity. He doesn’t just write songs; he tells stories, asks questions, and turns his internal battles into moments you can feel. From introspective boom bap to synthetic, off-kilter beats, blxkout doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable — he leans into it, using it as fuel.
At the core of his music are themes like identity, mental health, self-worth, and the pressure to grow while staying grounded. He doesn’t perform to impress — he creates to express, to process, and to connect. His lyrics cut through the noise, unfiltered and intentional.
But the vision doesn’t stop with the sound. blxkout is crafting an entire universe — a blend of storytelling, fashion, visuals, and emotion-driven concepts that stretch far beyond the tracks. He’s not trying to play the game. He’s reshaping it on his terms.
This isn’t just sound.
This is statement.
