The style of Xkhraig seamlessly pours into this track. To really get an understanding as to where he stands as an artist, it’s best to look into all of his music. 

Xkhraig is a singer/songwriter from Jamaica who provides unique insight through his songwriting. A personal favorite of mine is a song called Hard Life. The track gives a perspective of what he perceived growing up and how hardship can turn the youth into resilient strong pillars of society. The music is still in good taste with what Jamaican culture stands for. ‘Wholesome yet riveting,’ is a good phrase to describe the lyrical style of Xkhraig.

There is a phenomenal vocal rant towards the end where Xkraig scats over the phrase “I Think She’s Perfect!” This is where I can hear some unveiled potential within Xkhraig’s artistry. Hitting the ground running is Xkhraig. You can hear more of his music being aired on Dancehall/Reggae radio shows around the country!
