Mississauga artist Heavy G, one half of the hip hop powerhouse RUNXGUN, has just released the lead single and title track from his highly anticipated album, Upside Down. Renowned for his hard-hitting bars, clever wordplay, and powerful delivery, Heavy G cements his reputation as a true lyricist with this introspective new single.
“Upside Down” dives deep into the personal experiences of Heavy G, touching on themes such as the loss of a close friend, strained relationships, and the unwavering importance of family. When discussing the track, Heavy G shared that creating record was incredibly therapeutic for him, providing an emotional outlet during a challenging time. The song’s raw honesty and vulnerability showcase a side of Heavy G that fans may not be familiar with, but at the same time comes with that classic RUNXGUN energy.
The production of “Upside Down” is equally compelling, featuring a moody, reflective beat produced by Toronto hip hop staple and frequent collaborator, Rich Kidd. Known for his exceptional production chops, Rich Kidd delivers a haunting piano melody that sets a somber tone right from the start. Sending this track over the top, the track features background vocals from accomplished Canadian R&B artist JRDN. His smooth, soulful melodies adds a rich texture to the chorus, providing a stark contrast to the gritty verses.
Fans of Heavy G and RUNXGUN won’t have to wait much longer for the full album, as Upside Down is set to drop on July 31. Be sure to keep it locked and prepare for an album that promises to be as introspective and impactful as its title track.
