KYRO - STFU [62%]
Kyro Delivers Explosive Energy with "STFU"
Kyro, hailing from West London, has hit the rap scene with a bang in his track "STFU." Produced, mixed and mastered by the talented ODXC at In The Dungeon Studios, this track is making waves. In just a month, the accompanying music video, creatively shot and edited by In The Dungeon, has garnered over 3K views on YouTube.
"STFU" is a lighthearted anthem that captures listeners' attention almost instantly. While the song's premise may seem basic, Kyro's infectious energy elevates it to something more. His live performances are where he truly shines. Kyro recently shut down a fashion shop on Oxford Street with a live rendition of the track and also wowed the crowd at the Trapped event organised by ZN1 at Dub 5 Studios this summer.
Lyrically, Kyro delves into his personal annoyances and struggles, touching on relationships and the demands of attention from the opposite sex. His verses showcase a skippy flow and the explosive energy in the chorus is palpable.
The production by ODXC is solid, featuring a typical trap beat with swirling pads and tight bass work. The arrangement could use a bit more complexity, but the impactful use of dropping the drums in and out reignites the track's energy effectively.
The music video, also produced by ODXC, features model and actress Ketourah, playing the role of a nagging girlfriend. Kyro's acting skills are on display as he handles multiple versions of himself simultaneously, portraying the pressures he faces. The video's clean aesthetics, especially in the phone box scenes with the cinematic touch of the red light, enhance its visual appeal.
Kyro brings a well-structured approach to his rap, building up the intensity within the verses before exploding into the chorus. In an interview with DUB 5, he describes "STFU" as a release, evident in the wild energy it evokes both from him and the audience during performances.
As Kyro continues to create, fans can expect more music videos and exciting collaborations in the near future. With his energetic presence and innovative creativity, Kyro is undoubtedly an artist to watch in the rap scene.
