After yet another week of listening to more underground music, I found the underrated Caribbean artist, who to me is slept on. The Underground artist of the week is The Bahamas’ very own Sleepy Lexx.
Residing out of The Bahamas’ capital island, Nassau, Sleepy Lexx, has a special R&B, soul, rap, and hip-hop, sounds that may seem different to people of different countries, islands and or coasts’. But good music is good music and Sleepy Lexx, is top tier. His special island sound is what makes him so different than what most artist/musicians you would normally listen to. Unlike most artist he sings and raps about things he’s been through, either it be relationships or even simpler, the island life.
I’ve know Sleepy Lexx now for about six years and from when we first became friends in homeroom, our friend group, always used to talk about doing music. I love seeing that he took it seriously, and now has tens of thousands of listeners on SoundCloud, Apple Music and Spotify.
My Favorite songs by Sleepy Lexx, is tied between three of his smoothest projects. “Island Life“, “Gyal” and lastly “All Your Time“. These three songs I listen to whenever I’m home sick or I just to listen to something where I can think someone else feels my thoughts and emotions. Island Life, the name is a bit self explanatory. Sleepy Lexx talks about what he does daily because he living on an island, hence the name “Island Life”. “Gyal”, was the first song I’ve heard from Sleepy Lexx. The lyrics to this song incorporates a lot of my feelings I would express to someone, you know, if I had someone to express it to. However, this song gives me the perfect island vibe that can put me in my feelings yet make me believe that I deserve better. Lastly “All Your Time”, talks about to me something similar to “Gyal”, but specifically what you can give to your partner. The feature in the song is by A.Major and he adds the perfect balance to the already “hype” song.
Be on the lookout for more of Sleep Lexx’s music and dip into a style of music that’s completely different than what you’re used to. Broaden your musical horizon and dip into the Caribbean side of music. Being the athlete that I am, I am always listening to music! Whether I’m listening to my SoundCloud downloaded music or just on Youtube I will always run across an Sleepy Lexx’s songs. Personally, his music is worth the listen and he has a song for whether you’re feeling sad, happy, let down, or excited that you have that special someone in your life. All great music to listen by yourself or even at a party. Ladies and gentlemen, Sleepy.
