Ozy Reigns is broadcasting messages to the universe, and his new single, “SPACE BLACK,” is a traveling genre-blending odyssey that stretches from here far into space beyond the terrestrial boundaries of hip-hop in 2019. With one foot squarely planted in classic lyricism and the other boldly stepping into the future, the track is a lesson in Afrofuturiusm impeccably balanced by reflections of a culture and a cross-genre innovation.
“SPACE BLACK” indicates that this isn’t your typical head nodder. Instead, Reigns welcomes us into a mood-clouded space with spacey synths, interstellar textures, and a groove that orbits like the moon of a far planet. Reigns takes his verses, passing wishes to explore the entirety of the layered continuum of Black Identity, challenging assumptions and pushing the culture forward in every bar. It’s Afrofuturism not just of sound but of soul, a vision of what Blackness looks like when it’s free to imagine, unfettered by any rules.
What’s impressive is how easily Reigns blends deep thoughts with approachable accessibility. He’s not preaching from a pulpit but beaming from a spaceship, calling you to tune in. His words have weight, but the delivery glides, making lofty thoughts unforgettable. “SPACE BLACK” is Reigns showing us that the hip-hop future is not just about sound; it’s about span. Ozy Reigns has delivered on both ends with his soundtrack for the future and mirror of the present. “SPACE BLACK” is a crucial spin for anyone who thinks hip-hop still has some galaxies to explore.
