Hip Pop With a Twist

This write up can be foundcan be found at Above Average Hip Hop

Oso Major, home to artist Legend–who we’ve featured a few times now–recently hit us up with their latest artist, Sirweah. With a cadence that almost resembles J Cole, the young artist isn’t married to hip-hop exclusively and dabbles in a sound that more accurately resembles ‘hip-pop,’ although he has bars [evidenced by his remix of Wizkid’s Afropop hit, “Final (Baba Nla)”]. This loose allegiance to one particular sound not only paints a picture of him as a real artist but also makes his catalog of music currently available deliciously eclectic; an example of this is his unique spin on Jason Chen’s acoustic version of “Photograph.”

“For me, it’s never been about proving myself the best rapper or vocalist; there’s always going to be someone who has me beat at that,” he points out. “If I could, however, give the best feeling to a listener with just one song, then I feel like I’ve succeeded. That’s what my music has always been about; making people feel, and giving them hope from those emotions.”

His latest record, “Everybody Knows,” is a piano-driven, radio-ready single that helps to establish his sound as established; with a catchy sing-song hook and an undertone of ‘look at me I made it,’ the record has legs. You can grab it now on iTunes. Check out some of his music below.

Sirweah's Making of "Everyone Knows" [Single]

The newest star in the making from Oso Major Entertainment, Sirweah brings his hit single, “Everyone Knows”.  The creativity from this multi talented artist is shared with a behind the scenes look at the creation of his single.

For those that do not know this major artist, Sirweah is a Singer/Songwriter and record producer from New Jersey. 

His music is a result of experimenting, primarily, with Pop and Hip Hop music, which he often tags as "Hip Pop". Although he dabbles in such genres, the Liberian native, considers himself to be less of the ordinary rapper or singer that's confined to one style, but rather an artist that uses inspiration from all avenues to paint a bigger picture that is his music.

"Everyone Knows" Press Release

“Everyone Knows” is the first single from Sirweah’s upcoming project, “Sounds from Overseas”.   This track shows how Sirweah can tell a story with lyrical punch lines that resonate with his audience and shows his range and powerful voice as he sings his own hook.  The comparisons to B.O.B and even Kid Cudi draw you into the song as he tells you where he came from, “We came along way from singing in dem hallways” to his motivation of creating a beautiful picture of passion and drive as he states he will never stop making music.

"For me, it's never been about proving myself the best rapper or vocalist; there's always going to be someone who has me beat at that," says the humble artist who also admits to not being very devoted to Hip Hop at a young age. "If I could, however, give the best feeling to a listener with just one song, then I feel like I've succeeded. That's what my music has always been about; making people feel, and giving them hope from those emotions". This mindset is what sets him on a different path - a sonically and conceptually liberating one.
