Emerging from the depths of Richmond, Virginia, there is an artist redefining what it means to channel darkness through sound. His music transcends genre boundaries, pulling from dark trap, industrial noise, ambient mysticism, and experimental hip-hop, creating an atmosphere that feels both celestial and infernal. He is known as Ascension, though some still call him Gushee — the name before the transformation.
Signed to DWC RECORDS, Ascension AKA Gushee represents the label’s next great awakening — a visionary artist unafraid to confront the unseen and the unknown.
At the heart of his craft lies an alchemical blend of lyricism and production — weaving together vivid spiritual imagery, personal revelations, and esoteric philosophies. Each track feels like a ritual, where distorted basslines collide with haunting melodies and cryptic verses that pull listeners deep into Gushee’s inner world.
His lyrics often explore themes of spiritual warfare, transformation, and divine rebellion, giving his audience a sense of both descent and transcendence — a balance between shadow and light.
Growing up in Richmond’s gritty scene, Gushee developed an early fascination with the occult, sacred geometry, and mystic traditions, channeling these studies into his art. Every project feels like a continuation of a spiritual journey — a testament to the struggle of the soul amidst modern decay. Through pain, revelation, and noise, he finds beauty in the fracture, purpose in the void.
