\n It\u2019s been less than a year and a half since OsamaSon<\/a> dropped JumpOut<\/a>, but it feels like the ascendant South Carolinian has been on a rocket to the moon ever since. He toured behind that album, then dropped the even-more-moshpit-ready psykotic, one of our top albums of 2025<\/a>, and toured behind that record too. His set at this year\u2019s Rolling Loud was titanic, he just modeled for Balenciaga, and hype for his next album NOCTURNAL is sky-high. Speaking more personally, I\u2019d call OsamaSon the best rage rapper out \u2013 his music isn\u2019t just \u201chard-knocking\u201d or \u201cbanging,\u201d but keenly aware of melody and negative space, every 808 and distortion filter calibrated just so.\n <\/p>\n

\n Released to celebrate his birthday, \u201coff that!\u201d is a squiggly, bouncy track, instantly recalling the delirium of fan favorites \u201cSlime U Out\u201d and \u201cWerkin.\u201d At first blush, it might seem like business as usual, but everything about this track feels just a touch crisper and cleaner than his past work. Lil O\u2019s squeaked flow, which burrows through unexpected cracks in the instrumental: \u201cI\u2019m in a big room right now I\u2019m off them shits!\u201d And the scuzzy beat, produced by 1st Class, Dayever, and Trisstt, swarms with tiny glistening gummy worms of ear candy: barely audible synthlines, a ghostly choir of OsamaSon\u2019s own adlibs, ice endlessly shaking in a styrofoam cup. If this is what being NOCTURNAL sounds like, who needs the sun?\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been less than a year and a half since OsamaSon dropped JumpOut, but it feels like the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":438049,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-438048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438048\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/438049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
