Artist Profile: SyHoustxn
The iPhone 17 has officially hit shelves nearly a month ago today. It comes with upgraded sound quality and a sleek design that makes your want to queue up a playlist ASAP.. If you’re looking for some fresh beats, you need to listen to SyHoustxn.
The Atlanta-based rapper (contrary to what the name might suggest) continues the stylistic bravado of late 2010s emo rap. Drawing clear influence from the likes of Playboi Carti, Don Toliver, and Juice WLRD, his musicianship blends heavy reverb with melodic hooks and wavy vocals. Whether it be a cozy night in or chaotic night out, SyHoustxn’s beats bring a vibe that stands out.
Ruin my life is SyHoustxn’s most successful single to date, earning him the milestone of first song over a million Spotify streams. The song was released in 2024 as a collaboration with Nimstarr; Both artists are on full display. With Nimstarr’s more pop and soul-influenced sound mixing with SyHoustxn’s solid rap efforts to create an infectiously-catchy club anthem. Whether your at work, the club, or chilling at home, this song will add some excitement to your day.
Since then, SyHoustxn has released an extended play: I love this Masterpiece, featuring the songs Masterpiece and I love You. It starts off the album with a mellow and relaxing beat, heavily utilizing soft background synths reminiscent of early 2010s Chillwave. I Love You has a similar sound but picks up the speed and tempo; representing the exhilarating passion of falling in love.
