The Sunset by eighty9s
“The Sunset,” Eighty9s’ seventh self-release, is inspired by the environment of San Francisco’s Sunset District. Eighty9s has lived there for two prosperous years, performing avidly around the various districts of San Francisco, and Oakland. He also makes his way to the southern parts of California, continuing to spread his talent to a wide variety of listeners.
From the low fog to the unique architecture of the colorful houses, he draws influence from his surroundings throughout his new album “The Sunset”, ultimately allowing for an almost synesthetic approach to music. With drum patterns that question the idea of keeping in time altogether, combined with memorable melodies and progressions, Eighty9s has successfully created his own sound, and this album stands as testament. Built from the soul of the Bay Area rap scene, mixed meticulously with classic elements of 90’s hip-hop and modulated g-funk synths, “The Sunset” has a truly distinctive sound.
