From the jump, HU$H confidently spits, “Woke up, I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like it, I still show up.” Fusing metal, industrial hip-hop, and alternative, his deftly rhymed verses bleed into a bludgeoning and heavy crescendo fueled by a double bass fill and groaning distorted guitars. Vocally, he effortlessly alternates between pummeling screams and arresting melodies.
Once again, “Gravity” evinces his penchant for sonic alchemy.
With gothic overtones reminiscent of Blade and Constantine, the accompanying visual evokes this turbulence on-screen. HU$H performs for a vampiric audience clad in black. However, the clip takes an unpredictably bloody turn, and he finds himself crucified emotionally and physically.
About the song, HU$H commented,
“People spend a lot of their lives seeking out higher states of consciousness, completely oblivious to their state and what it has to teach them and the knowledge they already hold inside. In that state of confusion, they are susceptible to the manipulation of someone who presents themselves as having the knowledge they seek. This can lead people to a fantasy of their journey, leading them further from the source of their growth—which is themselves. I grew up in a town where this is the default for most people, constantly reaching outside themselves for answers only to be robbed of their own truth and quite often a lot of money. Some people will take advantage of a person seeking answers they think they don’t have or can’t access. It’s all in us though, we just have to listen with patience instead of the common ‘What pill can I take for this?’.”
Meanwhile, he also unveiled his Strange Music debut LP, SKUNKWORKS. In addition to posting up over one million total streams, it incited critical applause. Dancing About Architecture raved, “Hu$h deftly weaves between the two sonic realms, matching hard rock swagger with electro cool, beat with bombast, melody with muscle, and underground dance sonics with metal salvos.” Folk N Rock attested,
"His ability to seamlessly fuse the aggression of metal, the rawness of punk, the lyricism of rap, and the electronic experimentation creates a sonic tapestry that defies conventions and captivates the senses…. unfolds like a sonic adventure, taking you on a rollercoaster ride through various musical landscapes."
HU$H is currently writing and recording with more song releases leading to a new album later this year.
