Virginia’s safe sin gets up close and personal on his latest track.
Following a steady stream of stand-alone singles over the course of 2019, emerging artist safe sin presents his latest offering. Cultivating an impassioned wildfire of emotion, the Virginia-based rapper burns a bright flame, unleashing an explosive tirade of aggressive sentiments against the backdrop of an infectious beat courtesy of renowned producer 4evr. The pair have already created music earlier this year on the dreamy lullaby “No Strings On Me” (co-produced by caspr). On “Loyalty,” the Garden Avenue collective member’s signature blend of fast-paced hi-hats and thumping 808s (complete with the iconic “forever gone” tag) mesh seamlessly with safe sin’s flawlessly supercharged flow, painting a perfect picture of elegant chaos.
safe sin’s signature themes of nihilism and lawlessness bleed through every syllable of his evocative lyricism as he issues a, “couple questions ‘bout” the addressee’s loyalty: “if they start shooting would you die for me?” / “if they cut you up would you lie for me?” A lively guitar loop coupled with an addictive drum pattern builds a high-octane atmosphere as safe sin races through the gears. Allusions to his hedonistic life in the fast lane are made clear through the statement, “good intentions, I left them in the past tense with the last bitch, now I’m ‘bout a bad bitch.” Such honest and personal admissions are furthered by the confessions, “I’m a ghost in the room, there’s no friends with me” and, “I ain’t gotta sell my soul, you already got a piece of me.” The openness with which he crafts his lyrics invites the listener to ride along in a passenger seat experience to the cutthroat world of safe sin – one marked by the venomous nonchalance in the words that roll so eloquently off his tongue.
