Dead Hendrix Releases New Single ‘Mustang’
Featuring Yungcudii
By John Hacker
OTTAWA, Canada — With a mix of Dead
Hendrix’s rap and punk rock sound and Yungcudii’s dash of street rap and
R&B, Hendrix’s new single “Mustang” is sure to turn heads among fans and
new listeners alike.
Released in March, the song
features Dead Hendrix anchoring the beginning and end and Yungcudii tasking the
middle of the song to a crescendo.
“Getting Yungcudii on
it, he’s a very talented and respected artist here in my city. He does more
like street rap, R&B kind of music. I wanted to get him on it after I
recorded it because my team and I all thought it would be a hit,” Hendrix said.
“My style is really unique the punk rock and the rap together, so I went like a
whole year before I sent it to him because I thought aww, he’s not going to
vibe with this, but I sent it to him a few months ago and he was like, yeah,
I'm up with this, so he put his verse on it and just took it to a whole new
level of the mix between the two genres and how you think that couldn’t work
but it really does.”
Hendrix, or Hendi to
his friends, said he got the beat from one of his producers and drove around
with the beat playing loud to come up with the right lyrics and melody to go
with it.
“My producer make
very cool beats,” Hendrix said. “He’s from Russia and he has a really cool
blend of punk rock and rap in his beats. I use different writing processes when
I find a beat I really like. I just drive around and turn the volume way up and
I just mess around with the melodies and the lyrics until something I find
great happens. And that’s what I did here for ‘Mustang.’”
At age 21, Hendrix is
a punk-rock-influenced rapper from the Centertown neighborhood in Ottawa,
Canada’s capital.
he has been writing
songs since he was under 10 years old. Drawing from real life experiences of
struggle from heartbreak to drug abuse, Dead Hendrix aims to write his music as
originally and as uniquely as possible.
Gaining more and more
traction in Canada with his unique blend of rap and punk rock, Dead Hendrix
then crossed borders and expanded his reach even further with the release of
his collaboration EP, Dead Summer, along with live shows in Canada and the
U.S., such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Hendrix said the
message in “Mustang” is the feel of the music.
“A lot of my songs, I
don’t really know what they mean until after but I think with Mustang there’s
less of a literal message and more of like a vibe or a feeling to it,” Hendrix
said. “It’s cerebral but it’s catchy. So it talked about those things that make
you think that are kind of deep but it’s also something you can blast in the
car and pump your head to.”
Hendrix said he'd
like for “Mustang” to be a part of an album or EP that he'd like to release
before the end of 2023.
In the meantime, keep
an ear open for Dead Hendrix’s contribution to an album coming out later this
month called Ottawa X Toronto, a crossover album featuring two of Canada’s
music powerhouse cities.
