Killtarzan: "Deep End"

Alt Hip-Hop, Rock and Rap Artist and Producer, Killtarzan, has released his new single “Dead End.” Inspired by a love story and the dark emotions of fear the unknown can bring.

The hip-hop rap track begins with a soft guitar riff before the trap style beat enters alongside the reverb vocals of Killtarzan. The mellow lyrics represent the feelings of helplessness, loneliness and fear brought on by being in love. The singer speaks of “falling in the deep end” as a metaphor for falling into the uncertainty that is love. He continues to state his belief that home is not a place, rather it is within one’s heart. The slow, trance beat echoes this struggle of falling into endless space with no control over dark emotions. The trap-style beat is blissfully balanced between melodic and mid-tempo attach of over-hyped sounds. Eager to inspire and help others cope with the universal feeling of the unknown, Killtarzan demonstrates his unique capabilities of blending genres and evoking deeply meaningful lyrics throughout this new release.

Born and raised in Dallas, Killtarzan grew up with a huge passion for music before self-learning the foundations of producing with friends. Transitioning into Killtarzan, he began to hone in on his unique sound and image gaining recognition for his conscious lyrics and versatility in blending genres from alternative rock to low-fi trap. 

Killtarzan’s music represents complex emotional testimonies that combine hasty, yet deliberate lyricism and with addictive hooks in a seemingly effortless way. Channeling influence from his southern roots and artists the likes of Eminem, Kid Cudi and Metallica, Killtarzan embodies a style that is equally intense as it is hypnotic and simultaneously reckless as it is conscious. Previous press can be found on Industry Top 100, Got Dat New and A&R Factory quoting his music as “slightly subdued with deep lyrics and perfectly harmonious anthems.” With his latest releases and plans for the release of his EP “The Goner,” Killtarzan is poised for a big 2020.
