The artist of trap music known as Grave
Leathers has released his new single, “Neverseethem.” The track
has been published on the Gene Boi Production, LLC independent record
label, entirely outside the influence of the corporate music
industry. Ambient, bass-driven, conceptual and visceral all at the
same time, “Neverseethem” by Grave Leathers is easily one of the
most intriguing trap singles of 2016 so far.
Grave Leathers hails from the East
Coast tradition (Portsmouth, VA to be exact) but his music is not
traditional even by modern trap standards. A fine example of his
characteristic style, “Neverseethem” comes close to the boundary
of electronica and trip-hop music while remaining deeply rooted in
the rap category.
Grave's stage name hints at the
foreboding feel of his music, which is unnerving in its overt sensory
appeal. Much of his highly textured sound comes from carefully
sculpted background beats, melodies and effects. But it is the
aggressive, yet intelligent urban poetry from Leather, himself, which
retains the spotlight.
That details regarding the artist are
difficult to come by adds to his shadowy mystique, intentional or
not. He is most active at his official SoundCloud page, where fans
can currently hear many of his original tracks. An official Instagram
account also exists, but information about him at both sites is
scarce. Perhaps most interesting to new Grave Leathers fans will be
his official YouTube channel [links provided below].
Even seen online, a live performance
from Grave Leathers is an experience to say the least, as evidenced
by a bootleg video shot in June of 2015. The video gives listeners a
window onto a full Grave Leathers set. Even viewed and heard through
what seems to be a cell phone, the video proves Grave to be a natural
front man, a flawless rapper with each line and rhyme at his instant
disposal. His mix-master gives bulletproof support, chucking a
barrage of mind-altering audio at the crowd.
“Neverseethem” from Grave Leathers
brings all of this together with razor-sharp studio production in his
most widely distributed single to date. Fans of trap and trip-hop
should definitely give the track a well-deserved listen.
“Neverseethem” by Grave Leathers is
available online worldwide now.
