I’ve listened to BLXST’s record ‘PRESSURE’ 100x from the balcony of my ‘Le Sable Presidential’ suite at Fontainebleau. As ‘PRESSURE’ blares from three different ‘Beats Pill’ speakers absurdly loud, every lyric reverberates through my mind and stirs up multiple emotions. Most people create limits for themselves during uncertainty and never evolve from fear. Fear is the most powerful invisible force in the world.

Fear creates pressure, which produces a shadow of doubt and inevitable failure. “Industry rule #4080 record company people are shadyyyy!” Q-Tip from the infamous group’ Tribe Called Quest’ highlighted a surreal ugly truth regarding the music industry. Emerging artists becoming shooting stars overnight and burnout once their ‘fifteen minutes of fame’ is exhausted.

Major Recording Artist BLXST makes music that captures a person’s soul, penetrates the heart, and mesmerizes their imagination. His ability to mesh raw emotional tones with symbolic lyrics creates an unparalleled music experience. BLXST’s meteoric rise to success is nothing short of calculated greatness.
