NXSTY & Kelland Introduce a New Wave of Future Trap in New “SEASONS” EP

August's smooth, melodic vocals kick off "Back to Life," stating, "We make money not the other way around." He also laments that “doing drugs is a part of my life," offering up a dose of reality as the instrumental changes from verse to drop and the highs and lows of the industry are uniquely expressed. The second single "Every Night (feat. Cotis)" feels like a ballad to the rockstar lifestyle, homing in on the grind to make a name for oneself, hustling to reach childhood goals, and partying at every opportunity. NXSTY's ability to create unique, memorable sound design is apparent as it rounds out the second drop of this future pop track.

Starting off sounding like an R&B tune, the Lil Traffic-assisted "Rain" develops into a bouncy future bass banger full of emotion and lyrics depicting the artist going through personal development. "ELEMENT" follows suit, a Travis Scott-esque trap heater with dark themes associated with party life. The verses mention a cycle that keeps repeating and an effort to change but being "lost in my ways." The production mirrors that motif with somber piano loops during the verses before introducing hard-hitting drops.

Rounding out the EP, “2Different (feat. Bolsen & Genocide Jax)" is a standout track with its strong vocal performances and unique structure. The stark contrast between the bouncy hip-hop flavors of the verses and the menacing gravitas of the drops perfectly embody the title of the song.
