Pyrex’s longtime penchant for melancholy soundscapes comes into full focus on “Screamin.” On the track, the longtime member of Southside’s 808 Mafia collective showcases a celestial croon as he conjures jarring imagery of a romance that’s transitioned into a dark place: “Painting with my blood, telling me it’s art.” With his trap influence still in tow, Pyrex continues to tap into a broader scope of his artistry with his early Sincerely, Rex offerings.
This vision is brought to life in the video for “Screamin,” which visually invokes the same paranoia and angst baked into the song’s lyrics. Sent into a panic after being poisoned by a demonic symbol of lust on a seemingly relaxed night in, Pyrex finds himself fighting feverishly for his life as external pressure joins forces with his inner demons, both literally and figuratively. The symbolism is startlingly clear: betrayal can do vicious things to one’s psyche.
About Pyrex:
As his name suggests, Pyrex is a master of the cook-up. Since emerging as a pioneering member of the legendary 808 Mafia in the late 2010s, the GRAMMY-nominated producer-artist has cheffed up engrossing soundscapes for the likes of Young Thug and Future to reconfigure the sonic parameters of trap music. In the process, his beats have collected hundreds of millions of streams and he’s become a modern hip-hop icon. Now, he’s ready to level up again. His debut album, Sincerely Rex is more adventurous and refined than any of his prior works. As stylish as it is mesmerizing, “Wat im On” is the soundtrack to a spaceship joyride. With hazy guitar and spurts of warped vocals, tracks like “Skeletons”, “Void” and “Burning Bridges” are alluringly psychedelic, evoking experimental acts like Animal Collective or Pink Floyd more so than any of his more traditional contemporaries. It’s Pyrex 2.0 — an expansion demanded by a potent cocktail of ambition and imagination. Rex strengthened his skills producing for everyone from superstars like 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, Migos, Juice Wrld and renowned wordsmiths J. Cole and JID. Early in his career, Rex earned cosigns from trap music godfathers Metro Boomin and Southside, cementing his status as a leader of a new generation. As a member of 808 Mafia and as a solo artist, he continues to innovate at every turn. Today, separating Rex’s impact on modern hip-hop is like trying to scrape the surface from sandstone; instead of simply being influenced by trap music, Rex has become the fulcrum of the subgenre itself. With his latest, he’s cheffed up an eclectic array of sounds and emotions for an album that’s as raw as it is controlled.Sincerely, Rex is his most potent recipe yet.
