There’s a refreshing energy that comes from an artist who believes in pushing boundaries, and Lexa Terrestrial embodies this to a tee. Pittsburgh has gifted the hip-hop scene with Lexa’s unique sound. In her latest single, “X Files,” she blends her rapid-fire rapping with an intricate mix of musical styles that takes listeners through something never quite felt before.
Lexa’s style seemingly knows no bounds – she draws from trap’s dark core, grunge’s powerful underbelly, the haunting tones of ‘90s R&B, and even the bold energy of metal. Her dedication to her craft has seen her sharing the limelight with renowned acts, be it the rhythm of Hopsin or the electric energy of Freezepop.
However, it’s the story behind “X Files” that stands out. Drawing from a producer’s inspiration to sample The X-Files, Lexa takes a dark, seductive trap beat and crafts it into a narrative on extraterrestrial life. It’s a piece that examines her identity, juxtaposing her experiences with the broader concept of celestial beings.
In a world where music often feels formulaic, Lexa Terrestrial’s “X Files” is a powerful reminder of the wonders of innovation and individuality.
