Oluse deeply paints conscious rap rhymes that are heavily anchored by distorted synths and accompanies them with sharp and edgy vocals.
The Nigerian-American rapper based in Los Angeles, CA has a tendency to pulverize his words into short staccato statements to make the song feel tighter and more personal.
His single “Boiling Point 4788c” finds the rapper grappling with real-world traumas, that haunt like the specter of death at every turn. The rapper is impressionistic and emotionally charged, the result of addictively refining his style and baring more of his thoughts than expected.
“Boiling Point 4788c” sounds like the work of a perfectionist giving shape to his more radical ideas. The artist proudly makes this track his own and he’s not worried whether it has a traditional hip-hop arc to it or that it sounds like a splashy record meant for radio.
The song sees the rapper serving more as a guiding force against the perils that prevail the face of the earth and becomes more like a third-person experiencing the events as they occur. And on select moments, he spends a considerable amount of energy hoping to find meaning and satisfaction, even if that means a future without him in order to save the world and himself.
Part of his nine-track EP Thorium, the song finds Oluse leading to a path of self-discovery. He lives his truth and finds peace with it. Accompanied by stunning visuals “Boiling Point 4788c” aims to propel the audience forward emotionally but also mentally.
