I’m excited to finally introduce my debut singles, “Don’t Call Me” and “Missing”—two tracks that stand apart from the typical trap sound you might be used to. These singles are personal, raw, and, above all, a reflection of my unique approach to production. Let me take you on a deeper dive into the inspiration and creative process behind these releases.
“Don’t Call Me” – A Reflection of Isolation
Inspired by the likes of Dave and Knucks, “Don’t Call Me” is an emotional trap beat that channels feelings of isolation and detachment. While the trap genre is often synonymous with heavy bass, I decided to step away from that formula and let the snares and kicks drive the track. The rhythm commands attention, creating a sense of urgency and frustration that mirrors the track’s theme.
This beat isn’t meant to overwhelm you with bass, but instead, it captures that delicate balance of intensity and introspection. The snares hit sharp, almost like a warning shot, while the kicks hold everything together with a steady but powerful pulse. It’s a track for those moments when you want the world to leave you alone—a statement of self-preservation in a world full of noise.
“In a world full of noise, it’s the quiet moments that speak the loudest. Music isn’t just sound—it’s emotion, energy, and expression. The art lies not in how much you say, but in how deeply it resonates.” – Archer Beats
“Missing” – A Journey Through Pain
The second single, “Missing”, draws inspiration from Manny Meekz and takes you on an emotional journey through pain and reflection. Where “Don’t Call Me” is about pushing the world away, “Missing” embodies a sense of longing—an aching for something lost or perhaps never even found.
Again, in this track, I shift the spotlight to the snares and kicks. The production is tight, and each drum hit feels intentional. There’s a melancholy woven through the track, but it doesn’t sit heavy on your chest—instead, it allows room for reflection. It’s emotional without being overbearing, subtle yet packed with meaning. The soundscape is delicate, but the drums keep it grounded, pulling the listener through the track with a steady, driving force.
Why These Tracks Matter
In a landscape where hard bass often dominates the trap scene, “Don’t Call Me” and “Missing” offer something different. These tracks are about more than just filling a room with sound—they’re about crafting an experience. The beats speak just as loudly as the lyrics could, using minimalist elements to say more than a wall of sound ever could.
If you’re tired of the oversaturated culture of hard-hitting bass and want something with a little more thought behind it, I think you’ll find these tracks refreshing. They’re perfect for when you need music that makes you feel something—whether it’s a moment of solitude, loss, or introspection.
Both “Don’t Call Me” and “Missing” represent my take on what emotional trap can be, and I’m excited for you to hear them. Be sure to check out the embedded Spotify players above to listen for yourself, and stay tuned for more releases soon!
Stay creative,
