WickSun (R&R) by PaNaMa HoLLa Opens a Dark Trap Gateway into Hunger, Pressure and Bared Teeth Bars –

Dark trap freestyler, PaNaMa HoLLa released his most menacing mix to date with WickSun (R&R).

The gentle piano loop filtering into a reverb-filled space sets a hauntingly disquieting atmosphere before PaNaMa HoLLa rolls in with his bared-teeth bars, snarling his way through the expansive production, which puts his measured-with-ferocity vocals front and centre, daring you to confront the visceral exposition of his hunger and determination.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what lies behind the façade of a fearless freestyler, WickSun is the ultimate gateway into an unreckonable talented mind. With PaNaMa HoLLa, cadence always precedes calculation, giving his bars an edge in the flattened wasteland of music of the freestyle scene. There’s a dangerous sense of immediacy riding through the undercurrent of the track; waves of tension refuse to break as pressure from the beat and delivery continue to tighten simultaneously.

PaNaMa HoLLa’s wider discography follows that same method, building songs from freestyle first and writing second, which explains why his work hits with such natural propulsion. As an independent artist with a PRO-registered catalogue and a growing reputation for writing with and for other artists, he is moving with the kind of leverage that comes from knowing exactly what he brings to the table.

WickSun (R&R) is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
