Blvxb has been shaking up the rap scene in his native Saudi Arabia since his debut album dropped in 2018. Over beats bearing a decided trap and drill influence, his dreamier, more meditative journeys bring a melancholic mood to those aggressive sounds. That’s along with an open-hearted lyrical delivery that speaks to directly to his fans. His is a deep, inimitable voice that cuts trough the likes of the ethereal-yet-insistent “Loot” or the deliciously pensive “November”—tracks that have helped usher in a new era of Saudi hip-hop.
