PRESS RELEASE FOR VICE CITY VIBES (SSCRCY).

-

Following his previous release “11:11” which grossed over 70,000 streams and counting, Edge is back with a new single titled “Vice City Vibes (S.S.C.R.C.Y)”. The release of this single indicates he does not intend to slow down anytime soon. Produced by Flowers in Narnia and Ramoon, “Vice City Vibes” is a two-part song of modern day 80’s disco mixed with hip-hop vocals and Afro-fusion. Edge showcases his versatility and genre blending skills once again using his distinct rhythmic vocals. “Vice City Vibes” pays an ode to his childhood influence GTA Vice City, hence the name, and as you listen you'll find that he leaves sonic traces of his Nigerian roots in the song.

The new release has been long awaited by his fans after previewing it last summer on Vancouver’s The100collective.
When asked about the single, Edge said this song marks a crucial part of his creative journey, as he feels the song captures his growth in music. "Its taken me a while to find my sound, but this song is it! I feel the most comfortable and confident I've ever been in creating music, I know people are really going to love this vibe." He says his fans can expect more of his sound going in this melodic direction.
