Ascending rapper Nix Northwest lands with a reminder to let loose once in a while in his latest single "Sun In My Eyes".

It's a self-produced number that sees him tap into his classic hip-hop influences and some modern funk grooves to give an accurate depiction of the current state of his inner world. Peeking through the sun-dipped melodies is his alter ego Xin, who will be explored further in his upcoming project Xin's Disappearance along with more of his forward-thinking sounds.

The video is a rousing cinematic experience created by Nix and Asher Kosher where he seamlessly drifts between reality and fantasy with a cluster of smiley people in various settings.

Speaking on the track, he comments, "I feel like I'm a person of extremes—I can be very serious, hardworking and driven but also know how to get silly and loose, and not take myself too seriously. I wanted this tune to try and encapsulate that contrast a little, I think. A lot of my music—and this album in particular—tackles some deep topics, but I wanted to show that I can also have a light-hearted side!"

Nix Northwest also appeared on the community-based The Silhouettes Project on two tracks titled "For South" and "What U Need" featuring ENNY and KeepVibesNear respectively. Now the Londoner continues treading his own path with his expansive sounds. While we wait for what's next, dip into "Sun In My Eyes" below.
