Action Paxton & Kung Fu Vampire Drop Massive Bass-Hip-Hop Heater Titled ‘5AM’

As heard in “5AM,” Action Paxton and Kung Fu Vampire have obvious creative energy between the two of them that was meant to be. Part heavy bass, part hip-hop, and all brought together by a natural structure that’s festival ready, “5AM,” keeps it gritty and trippy all at once in this banger of a single.

From the dark fade-in and the eerie basslines, there’s a sense that this one is going to make your skin crawl with well-crafted production style. The hip-hop vocals deliver a sense of confidence as it begins to easy the tension and substitute it with empowerment.

The first drop comes in fast and smooth, screeching synth effects and head-banging percussion transitioning gracefully from the toplines just before. The second verse comes in delivering more of what was shown on the first, this time a drop comes through even faster and with an even bigger power-showcase as the first. The jaw-dropping nature here hits a peak as the track comes to an abrupt ending, leaving you wanting more.

It’s no surprise these two ended up linking for a collaboration themed as this. The solo multi-genre artists here have decades of studio experience between them and a tour history many only dream of. Both west coast based and Action Paxton actually being a member of Kung Fu Vampire as the drummer, they more than likely know each other well which seemingly plays a role in the success of the hard-hitting jam here.

Action Paxton’s performance history feels like a bottomless bit of show-demand: Burning Man from 2008 to 2019, Outsidelands, Oregon Eclipse Festival, World Orisa Festival, SOFA Fest, and dozens of tour dates at venues around the world, the wanderlust life paired with his innate desire to play-out live is apart of his innate being.

Kung Fu Vampire has accomplished a whopping 17 tours since 2010, even touring with the legend Tech N9ne at various points. Having tracks climb both the iTunes Hip Hop chart to #14 and Billboard Top 200’s to #38, this simply scratches the surface of the accomplishments of the seasoned artist.“5AM,” is a month-watering banger that’s easy to put on repeat. An eclectic accompaniment to weird and wild sets from experimental bass to dubstep and hip-hop, the dynamism of the single is instantly recognizable.
