Asen Cort – Esencia [Single + Video]

The unstoppable wave of trap music has breezed across the globe, making a notable impression wherever it crashes, including rapper Asen Cort‘s native Spain. Expanding the reach of this magnetic music style is Asen‘s OldPurp-produced single, “Esencia“.

Echoing the vibes of walking down dark alleys and side streets in the dead of night, “Esencia” strikes a tense yet resonant chord. Rigged up with some eerie synth strings, slim yet tight drums, and lo-fi electro percussions, the tune sets up an otherworldly atmosphere that balances between the haunting and the hypnotic.

Despite not being fluent in Spanish, Google Translate verifies that Cort’s words align with the edgy dynamism of his flow and delivery. Laced with breezy defiance and a touch of solitude from the start, he steers through winding rundowns of complicated connections and turbulent flings, all brilliantly outlined in powerful verses. And while lines like “Estoy con delirios de amor y verdad” (“I’m with delusions of love and truth“) portray his inner tussle to understand love-linked emotions, lines like “Unidos con alma y cuerpo” (“United with soul and body”) give the impression of a deep spiritual and physical relationship with someone, which in turn amplifies the tangled feelings that our rising rhyme-spitter is grappling with.

“Esencia” firmly stamps Asen Cort’s mark on the evolving terrain of the international trap scene. With OldPurp‘s surreally ethereal beat and his rock-solid rhymes at the ready, this track shows off his talent and potential to bring a new dimension to the genre. Treat yourself and get lost in the ambient radiance of “Esencia”, giving it a chance to lead you along the rich, rhythmic tunnels of heart and spirit.
