The Genesis of a Goliath Beat
In the heart of Toronto's vibrant music scene, a new sound was brewing—a sound destined to disrupt the status quo.

The BNYX Influence: Crafting the Unearthly Bassline
BNYX's style—gritty, raw, and unapologetically bold—served as a beacon in the creation of "Tha Deal." His basslines, characterized by their guttural depth, seismic impact, and electrifying intensity, were the north star guiding this subterranean odyssey. The drums in "Tha Deal" were not just beats; they were seismic events, powerful enough to jolt the soul.
The Melodic Madness: A Techno-Trap Fusion
As I layered the techno-inspired synth run onto the raw trap essence, the track transformed. It wasn't just music anymore—it was a whirlwind of sound, a fusion that went beyond genres. The melody melded with the bassline in a dance of chaos and order, much like biting into a perfectly crafted taco—each element distinct, yet harmoniously blended.
charm!'s Explosive Entrance
When charm! heard the demo, his reaction was immediate. His request for a spot on the track was not just an ask; it was an inevitable fusion of energies waiting to happen. He returned with a 20-second verse that was nothing short of high-voltage, high-impact artistry.
A Perfect Storm of Styles
What made "Tha Deal" a masterpiece was the juxtaposition of our styles. My verse—mellow, flangey, and spacey—provided a dreamy contrast to charm!'s visceral, earth-shattering contribution. This interplay created a track that was not just heard but felt, a musical journey that resonated with every fiber of the listener's being.
