Posted by 2021 HipHopDX Rising Star Blxst has returned with some new tunes. Linking up with Top Dawg Entertainment crooner Zacari, the Cali-bred lyricist dropped “Sometimes” on Thursday (March 3), a bouncy rhythmic track that finds both singers reflecting on the struggles that come with trying to balance fame with a steady home life, a subject Blxst says many should be able to relate to.
“I’m sure everybody can relate,” Blxst said of the track in a statement. “Trying to balance being in the field while making sure home is happy but sometimes it ain’t as pretty as you want it to be.”
Zacari added in his own statement that “Sometimes” was also born out of an uncanny chemistry between the two artists.
“First time I linked up with Blxst was at this studio house in Malibu and we made this song. te first night we met,” Zacari said. “Working with Blxst was hella easy, it was organic we’re both quick on the mic so it flowed. It was tight working with another young west coast singer, we boutta take over R.I.P Nate Dogg.”
