Expressive Instrumentals and Authentic Hip Hop Storytelling- Sean XLG Reinvents Hip Hop with New Album ‘Reign Forest’

With his new record, ‘Reign Forest’ Sean XLG presents a bold, unparalleled, and one-of-a-kind blend of Hip Hop and Instrumental music

Washington, DC, District of ColumbiaOctober 25th, 2022 – Led by soulful vocals and culturally expressive rhythms, Sean XLG’s Hip Hop music is something that audiences will find both close to home and yet oozing with experimental spirit. Motivated by a goal to try something new and yet stay true to his strengths, the rising artist stuns yet again with his new album Reign Forest’.

 

Delivering everyday stories uniquely, Sean brings creativity and ingenuity, which will be remembered long after one has gone through the 14-track album. From “All the Funk in the World” to “Breathe,” “The Hands of Time,” and “Pump Up to Jump Up,” Sean is able to germinate both eagerness and excitement amongst audiences, solely with his magnetism and rhythmic composing abilities. 

 

Building an instrumental lane in the realm of Hip Hop with “Reign Forest,” Sean XLG enchants listeners with a mix of classic jams interspersed between experimental and contemporary tracks. With his raw street beats and infectious swinging dance rhythms, the artist creates a blend that will absorb old-school fans and contemporary Hip Hop lovers. 

 

With tracks such as “Dance Off (AKAs vs. Deltas),” Sean XLG delivers a spirited mix of tunes highlighting the unprecedented evolution of an art form born over 40 years ago.

 

“This track is geared towards a dance competition and we’re hoping both groups will do some choreographed and freestyle dance videos and post them online. If we set up some live shows it’ll become a fun part of the performance,” says the artist.

 

Having dropped on September 25th, 2022, “Reign Forest” is available on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and all other digital music outlets. Visit Sean XLG’s official website to check out the artist’s new album! For interviews and reviews, reach out to the artist through his email.
