A-Wax 1 Million hopes to leave a lasting mark on the music industry and ‘Baby’, the latest single, from his album ‘S.Y.S.D (So Young So Dumb), is sure to make sure he’s well on the way to achieving just that.
An artist who is driven by an abiding love for his city, family, and fans, A-Wax 1 Million has had a long and difficult road to walk to get where he is today. He grew up in the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma, Washington, and stepped away from the dark path he was following when he was put in prison. This made him re-examine his choices, reignite his passions, and channel his energy fully into his sound.
A-Wax 1 Million fuses hip-hop, rap, and pop into his own unique style, which is characterised by introspective bars and melodies that are as silky as they are smooth. ‘Baby’ is a stand-out track on ‘S.Y.S.D (So Young So Dumb)’, and sees the artist collaborate with a childhood friend. The track is built up on a laid-back beat, as it tells the story of his journey up to the minute, covering his struggles with incarceration and his drive to put Tacoma on the musical map.
With stripped-back instrumentation allowing his vocals to float effortlessly over the beat, listeners are drawn in courtesy of his mix of confidence and allure. He infectiously weaves elements of pop and hip-hop, re-defining the style, rather than relying on something that’s pre-existing.
The music video for ‘Baby’ continues with the sultry atmosphere of the track, as it shows A-Wax 1 Million and his “baby” losing themselves in the moment. Created in collaboration with AFNF visuals, deep red lighting sees the video soaked in a late-night atmosphere, something like the back room of a strip club, perhaps. While the production is simple, our eyes are drawn to the hypnotic moves of the featured dancer, who moves around A-Wax 1 Million, as he sits like a king on his throne. It’s a projection of what is to come – and A-Wax 1 Million knows where he’s heading.
