Smoke and Mirrors

Rap-metal hybrid with distorted 808s glued to down-tuned guitars, half-time head-nod bounce, and choral stabs on the hook; verse rides sludgy guitar chugs and tight trap hats, pre-chorus strips to a bass pulse and muttered doubles, chorus hits with shouted gang vocals and cracked choir stacks. Vocal is close-mic, snarling, with layered ad-libs, delay throws on hook words, and a few filtered half-spoken turns. Ear candy: reversed swells before each drop, metallic hit accents, and a final breakdown with tom fills. Mix is abrasive, wide, and punchy., rock, raw, choral, rap, metal, seductive
