SAINTS N SINNERS is turning expression into melodic menace…

“DOPE”, by SAINTS AND SINNERS’ AC48, shows just how much the combination of vocal delivery and bounce can absorb you. The most striking element is his vocals, the raspiness itself reaching different depths, almost terrifying in their shruggishness. With the reclined modulation, his raps still keep up their flow state over the booming beat - this dual effect hypnotises you while also making the track a perfect pick for a haze-filled club.

The collective’s music, though, has never conformed to one lane. Since 2022, they’ve fully embraced trap’s liquid vocals across tracks drifting from the pluggnb arena to bouncy alt, all mostly nocturnal, with chilling electric guitars and synths. For fans of NAV and Uzi, as well as the often-featured BIGBABYGUCCI, the sound of these artists will instantly catch on, creating a beautiful hybrid of swinging melodica and vulnerability - something you’d feel yourself floating to during moments away from the crowd.

So that’s why you’d find AC48’s new track so jarring in its own way. It still keeps that lyrical ethos of expression, of everything really being as it sonically feels. But here it’s meant to be rowdy - his self-assurance now growls over menacing 808s like fired bullets, eerie at its core. The night vision visuals tell you all you need to know - masked creatures keeping it uneasy while AC48 walks with ease, finding comfort in that eerie space, somewhat of a land of intoxication that his easy, vocally rough delivery makes clear doesn’t faze him, but rather delights him.

It’s clear that SAINTS AND SINNERS embrace this versatility of trap, morphing it into deliciously authentic raps - you get the boost you need while also being in your own world. There’s really no telling what they can surprise you with next…
