Waves crash on the shore and bring new energy to the land. The same can be said about Young Sixx, an artist from the Inland Empire, by way of Germany.
Since Sixx landed in Southern California he’s brought his worldly sound and mixed it with the west coast bounce to create this “New West Wave”.
What that resulted in is six spectacular songs featuring some of Southern California’s best emcees. Tracks like “Used 2 Be” bring you back to the golden age of west coast hip hop, the funky bassline producers like Dr. Dre, DJ Quik and Battlecat made world famous combined with Sixx’s scintillating vocals.
“Like A 64” draws from the gangster rap era titularly, however sonically is inspired by the west coast’s ratchet era in the early to mid 2010’s. The most heartfelt track is “Sacrifice & Risk” as Sixx pours out lyrics over a soulful instrumental.
