10K Moss and Wxvy Jackson
have just released their collaborative tape, the much-anticipated "MXRSE CODE." This dynamic 10-track project serves as a testament to the duo's prowess in delivering a captivating blend of rage and hyper-pop sounds, coming from the vibrant city of Toronto. The pair has undeniably carved out their niche, seizing control of the scene since the release of their widely-acclaimed single, "ILKK." Witnessing the growth of Toronto artists like 10K Moss and Wxvy Jackson is genuinely exciting. Their influence is transcending borders, marking the start of their global expansion. In the current music landscape, 10K Moss and Wxvy Jackson emerge as a standout duo. Their chemistry is not just palpable; it's natural and vibrant, elevating their collaborative efforts. "MXRSE CODE" provides an immersive experience, offering a glimpse into the deeper, more introspective sides of both Moss and Jackson. It's a fantastic project, flowing with hits, showcasing the potential of this promising duo. The opening track, "FAR," sets the tone with a cinematic and grandeur introduction. An iconic Billy Elish sample kicks things off, serving as an excellent opening for the entire project. 10K Moss's performance on "FAR" is nothing short of superb, matched seamlessly by Wxvy Jackson, laying a strong foundation for what follows. One of the highlights of "MXRSE CODE" is the fusion of melodic styles with the powerful rage-inspired production that is currently taking over the music scene. Moss and Jackson have not only embraced this trend but have seized it, dominating the scene with their distinctive take on it.
The project boasts a remarkable consistency and cohesive aesthetic, creating a unified sonic experience and even a visual experience with the well-thought-out cover and crazy music video for “ILKK.” Diving into the tracks, the project offers a diverse range of sounds. "GENESIS" introduces a more vibey and chill tune, while "DI3 L!T" channels a "Whole Lotta Red" aesthetic, delivering a more intense and aggressive vibe. The hard-hitting production is a cornerstone of the entire project, establishing a solid foundation that allows the artists to shine. My personal favorites from the project include "FAR," "GENESIS," "DI3 L!T," and the breakthrough single, "ILKK." These tracks not only resonate with personal preference but also stand out as some of the best-produced on the tape. "GENESIS" and "BY MYSELF" emerge as underrated gems, contributing unique atmospheres to the overall cinematic dark aesthetic that creates the entire project. The inclusion of features on "MXRSE CODE" further enhances its project. TOB Duke on "DI3 L!T," Fourfive on "RICH GANG," and Katozai on "R!SK" bring their flair to the project. Each feature is thoughtfully chosen and executed, adding depth and variety to the overall listening experience. Katozai, in particular, shines with a matured delivery on "R!SK," hinting at a more mainstream-sounding direction that holds immense potential. I’m excited to see where Katozai goes from here. 10K Moss and Wxvy Jackson have delivered a fantastic project with "MXRSE CODE." The excitement surrounding their rapid rise is well-deserved, and the anticipation for their next moves is exciting. I’m genuinely excited to see where these boys go next and I hope to see them continue to win and represent the city.
