Pozer Makes Good On The Hype With Eclectic Debut Mixtape 'Crossroads'
Pozer has shared his new tape, Crossroads, a 12-track statement of intent that makes good on the hype and expands on his signature sound.
He wears his inspirations on his sleeve with this tape, saluting his rap heroes like Lauryn Hill, DOOM and Max B, while exploring drill and rap fusions splashed with moments of grime, Jersey club and even jazz.
He also stretches into new territory with hazy psychedelics at some points and his flair for unexpected sample use rears its head once more with a flip of Blood Orange's "Champagne Coast" for "Jersey King".
Speaking on the tape's influences, he shares: "Crossroads is a representation of where my life is right now, I'm at a crossroads between my life before music and my life going forward. I want the listeners to listen to it and feel motivated to chase their dreams through hearing me talk about all of the hurdles before me getting to where I am. It's an indescribable feeling to be putting this out into the world. I feel like it's a combination of a lot of things, but it's exciting to say the least."
Alongside the new tape, he also shares the moody black-and-white visual for "Franklin Saint" that was filmed in a luxury Amsterdam hotel by Dutch duo Bas Haselager and Tom van Groningen of Red Moons.
