Los Alva – FLUX [Single]

It’s always dope when emcees marry profound rhymes to a relaxed, sample-laced beat, dipping into a pool of emotions and openness that so many others cringe at. Cali native Los Alva has gradually etched his presence in the hip-hop cosmos, winning over fans with his earnest and soulful style. His tracks echo life’s wild ride, celebrating its tumbles, wins, and everything that fills our days.

His track, “FLUX,” hailing from the just-dropped album The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Heartbreak, picks up on Los Alva’s knack for baring his soul to his audience. Tapped against a rhythm of lo-fi-filtered drums, the waves-wrapped chords of a Fender Rhodes create a canvas upon which Los Alva touches on pain and love—and his nonstop duel with self-sabotage. Standout lines like, “Tears falling down and I’m stressed, My fall pressed / Can’t even get no goddamn rest, so what’s next,” manage to distill angst and a search for solace into a few lines, and the track’s cool-out, midtempo groove will make you want to sit back and zone out.

In between exchanging blows with sorrow and expressions of love, there’s an undeniable sense of resilience in Alva‘s approach and delivery. Despite the troubles he describes, his voice never wavers; in fact, it strengthens and becomes even more swayful as the track goes on.

Blending incisive lyrics with calming chords, “FLUX” by Los Alva is a track that stands out. It provides a generous dose of emotions, illustrating the ebb and flow of life with true-to-life accuracy. Direct your musical compass towards “FLUX” to appreciate Alva’s personal odyssey filled with perseverance, depth, and a rhythm tuned into the pulse of life itself.
