Melbourne/Naarm rapper and producer OX4ORD will release the downtempo hip hop song âVISIONSâ on Friday, 13th October via Hy-Lo Creative. Music Feeds is premiering the track, which marks a step away from the dance-centric sound of OXâs previous releases â listen below.
OX4ORD â âVISIONSâ
OX4ORD began 2023 with a couple of collaborations: in March, he teamed up with VOLDY on the light-footed club jam âSAY NOTHINâ; in July, OX and VOLDY connected with IJALE for the equally lithe âOKOK (WORK)â.
âVISIONSâ is OX4ORDâs first solo single since his 2022 debut, âPARAMETERSâ. The Naarm-based musician is also known under the production alias YAAK, and has collaborated with the likes of MIZUKI and Z. Lewis.
In a statement, OX4ORD said the restrained sound of âVISIONSâ was influenced by a desire to create something more vulnerable. âIt was an opportunity for me to give people a glimpse behind the mask,â he said. âItâs honest, itâs raw, and itâs a sound that youâre going to get more of from me moving forward.â
