SOAM which stands for Seen Odd Amongst Many is a collective whose music varies from trap rap to cookout music. They have a hit song entitled “SOAM – Take A Ride” which has accumulated over 24k plays on Soundcloud.
They also have their own clothing line called LIFE Sports 365 which stands for Loyalty in Friendships Exists 365. The crew state that they are “5 brothers from 5 different worlds and realities who have one dream and we were all able to come together to make good music.”
“Take A Ride” is a track that perfectly showcases the musical landscape that we now live in, blurring together multiple genres. The track is as welcoming as it is laid back, you feel obliged to unwind and relax with the rappers themselves, obviously the intended reaction with its warm keys and lifting vibes.
SOAM are influenced by different sounds and a broader array of concepts; they know that just sex, money, alcohol and name dropping alone won’t always cut the mustard, but they really know how to throw those rhymes at you too. Combining compelling melodies and lyrical debauchery has become a recipe for success in today’s evolving hip-hop landscape.
New artists attempting to strike a chord by bridging the gap between rapping and singing pop up every hour, but SOAM Gang ENT X HG ENT are classic modern day emcees when it comes to the mastering of this balance.
And while SOAM Gang ENT X HG ENT has several quality projects on their resume that handle the crossover trap rap sound, on “SOAM – Take A Ride” they’re crafting a different vision. This is a fascinating mix of stimulating conversational music and a banging free-styling jam, and SOAM have enough stellar musicality behind them to make the track work effortlessly.
Musically, the track is deserving of praise as the production weaves its own narrative which brings forth unexpected moments of excitement during the course of the listening experience. SOAM are remarkably able to execute numerous types of soundscapes.
“SOAM – Take A Ride” is not totally groundbreaking, and never pretends to be, but it is an accurate representation of SOAM Gang ENT X HG ENT’s talent as a hip-hop collective with engaging voices and flows, who are capable of creating a wide array of blended urban music styles.
And while the scope of their unconcealed vision takes us many places, a sense of forward motion prevails and the music benefits from SOAM’s impassioned means of artistic expression. It’ pretty clear that a groundbreaking classic will soon be on its way!
