ARSAN

New York producer / rapper Arsan has released her mixtape, ‘Rhyme And ReAson.’ With a strong lyrical focus and some strong beats, she looks set to make an impact in hip-hop from the ground level up. Whether letting her hair down for ‘Party Time,’ or showing her business focus with ‘Ms Hustle,’ Arsan impresses with an accessible, contemporary hip-hop sound.

Self-produced and devoid of guest spots, Arsan is able to deliver her own vision across the strong 9-track mixtape release, introducing listeners to her uncompromising style. Staying close to the streets, Arsan shows that she is not to be taken lightly as she laces her music with a self-confident swagger on tracks such as ‘Flyer.’

While this mixtape focusses on Arsan’s own tracks, she can also be caught delivering some freestyles over well-known tracks like ‘Theraflu’ and ‘ Whipping My Hair.’ This expansion into rhyming over other artists’ beats, places her in line for direct comparisons with the original artists, some of whom are left on the tracks. Yet, she never comes off soft, as she maintains her individuality, even as she brings lyrics and flows to tip a nod to the tracks she rhymes over.

A short, yet solid mixtape, ‘Rhyme And ReAson’ acts as a great showcase for Arsan’s talents, setting her up to continue her journey towards wider recognition. Set your browsers to Arsan ‘Rhyme And ReAson,’ for a chance to check out this promising new artist. - Popculturez.com
