The creative lyricism and gritty cautionary tales are a signature sound that makes St.Basil worthy of your attention.
Not only is St. Basil intouch with the sound and essence of Hip-hop, he also embraces the new era and new sound of Hip-hop and continues to do his role in bridging the gap. Artist who look to uplift on and off the record are rare these days due to the never ending race of how many guns and chains we can buy being the main focus of the “Main Stream”. Educating his fans and supporters with the truth and uplifting lyrics but at the sametime being able to display the harsh truth of life. Even the name itself is monumental once you dive down the rabbit hole of truth. St. Basil is a much needed add to your playlist.
