2TIMES is a new artist on the scene that we had the chance to chat with. From Cleveland, OH, 2TIMES makes experimental hip hop that bangs with aggression. 23 years young, his passion started a few years ago but it wasn’t, until 2019 when he was released from jail that, 2TIMES really took his music seriously. He talked about his time in jail and how it made him realize how he needed to live his life. Staying focused on a goal and out of trouble as much as possible. This was a big turning point for 2TIMES and it shows in his music. He always played around with freestyles growing up and always had a passion for music but, as the years come along, 2TIMES found himself wanting more of an outlet to express his feelings and thoughts. Most of his influence come from the team around him. He’s always had a lot of friends to help him get the best sound possible and it shows. Crisp mixes with space for every sound on every single track from his most recent project “ROCKSTAR 2X”. That tape was filled with more intended banger tracks that are perfect for a good time but 2TIMES claims that his next project takes a completely different route. He talked about how he wanted to show off his range to his listeners and show everyone how versatile he really is. So, with “POPSTAR 2X” he did just that. Creating a whole tape with melodies and grooves for everyone to dance with. 2TIMES has a sound of his own from progressing classic sounds and genres we already know and love. Without a doubt we think 2TIMES is worth a play a few times.
a place for the underground.
