Hovering at the crossroads of fame and gossip, the noise of the noise fills the eardrums, the sound of praise, the sound of denigration, the words of affirmation and denial in the air. Who walks side by side with me, where the road under my feet goes, forward or backward, may not have a standard answer.
Huang Xu, who has just released the ep "Standing in the Center of the Whirlpool", returns with a new song "Road", this time, jumping out of the center of the whirlpool, he is like a narrator who tells his true state of mind at this moment.
You also call me the Great Devil, not blown by yourself
In "China New Rap 2020" with a song "Halfway Up the Mountain" "World War I Sealed God", becoming the only winner among the returning demon kings, Huang Xu used his super excellent performance state and the typhoon with a degree of control to fully interpret the rap scene of the demon king level, won a piece of praise on the scene, and laid the status of his own powerful creator.
The single "Road" continues the narrative concept and emotion of "Landscape in the Middle of the Mountain", revealing the state of mind from scratch, from nobody to "Big Devil". The song also continues the narrative rap that Huang Xu has always been good at, once staying up late at the train station, secretly enduring peace with his mother; now standing on the high platform, the controversy about himself is also like a bullet.
Closing his eyes and listening to the melody spread, this time, Huang Xu unloaded the arrogant shell of rapper, and the contradictory inner emotions poured out instantaneously. The self-deprecating sound of the three words "Great Demon King", the whisper of "hidden tolerance and restraint", you can hear his undisguised sincerity in the song.
Life is far more foolish than what is written in absurd dramas
Different from "The Landscape of the Half-Mountainside" for the retrospective of the struggle day and night when he was young, and the determination that the effort will be lucky, in the lyrics of "Road", he does not repeat the achievements, but more expresses self-questioning, quite a posture of my three provinces and three provinces.
"Choose so much, will you be accommodating or forget it"
"What should I show the world?"
"What should I do if I disappoint you?"
"The Road" is straightforward and bold in the expression of lyrics, tempting on the edge of danger, like a drunken brother telling you about recent encounters, his questioning is to ask himself is also to ask others, the aura of fame and fortune brings glory and bondage, looking at the bright life, in fact, behind a mess. The fame that was once dreamed of, after a shallow taste, is not the taste of imagination.
At first glance, the lyrics sound like there is no choice at countless intersections, but after careful review, in fact, he already has the answer in his heart.
"I know the world is messy and I have to keep my conscience"
"When the picture comes back to old days in my heart love always"
Huang Xu, who has always been regarded by fans as a strong "output" rapper, used exploratory, questioning, and sighing expressions in "The Road" to make a cut in this social atmosphere of competing for fame and profit. Behind that mouth, he hoped that people who listened to the song could understand as he did that success and fame were not the goal, and that looking at the past and always remembering why he set out, in order to firmly take the road under his feet.
This song is not only an emotional catharsis, but also a dialogue between him and his fans, hoping that people who have been, now, and not far in the future, who are also hovering at the crossroads, close their eyes and feel that someone is standing side by side with you, whispering encouragement in your ears, breaking through the fog in front of you, and finding their own direction.
And Huang Xu, who is determined to start again, will how to interpret this "Road" on the spot, pay attention to iQiyi's "Rapper of the Week" this Saturday, and the new song premiere scene will reveal the answer.
