preme__xy

preme__xy is manifesting his vision across multiple segments of the cultural zeitgeist, both as a musician and as the creative director for Congruent Space, a high-end fashion retailer-meets-art gallery based in Chicago.

In a past life, he toured with <a href="spotify:artist:01QTIT5P1pFP3QnnFSdsJf" data-name="Lupe Fiasco">Lupe Fiasco</a> In another, he fronted experimental art collective <a href="spotify:artist:6DJLhMrXhyW0XJXxFDIkUT" data-name="Goodbye Tomorrow">Goodbye Tomorrow</a>, where his conceptual video for “JAY Z: A DISSERTATION ON THE DIASPORA OF THE BLACK SOUL” was lauded by critics as one of the year’s best. In his current incarnation, between working on his new album and building immersive art installations for fine artists and fashion designers at Congruent Space, preme recently designed the motion graphics for <a href="spotify:artist:5K4W6rqBFWDnAN6FQUkS6x" data-name="Kanye West">Kanye West</a>&#39;s Ye listening party invitations.

preme__xy’s music leans into afro-futurist r&amp;amp;b psychedelia, tethered to the realm of hip-hop by increasingly decaying threads, operating at the intersection of post-<a href="spotify:artist:50co4Is1HCEo8bhOyUWKpn" data-name="Young Thug">Young Thug</a> anti-articulation, the hallucinogenic blues of <a href="spotify:artist:450o9jw6AtiQlQkHCdH6Ru" data-name="Funkadelic">Funkadelic</a>&#39;s Maggot Brain, and <a href="spotify:artist:6nB0iY1cjSY1KyhYyuIIKH" data-name="FKA twigs">FKA twigs</a>’ trance inducing drum patterns. preme__xy is the soundtrack to an era where we are more aware than ever of a crumbling society in the throws of late capitalism, but too numb; whether by drugs, the internet, or existential apathy, to do anything about it.
