Xasachi
Xasachi’s newest project, First Angel, released on June 13th, 2025, is a rollercoaster of melodies and trances. Each instrumental pairs seamlessly with Xasachi’s vocal delivery, with inflections and cadence complementing the production on a wide scale.
The instrumental on the opening track, “Mally,” feels like a direct callback to Playboi Carti’s infamous Whole Lotta Red (V2)—a cult-favorite era kept alive by leaks, signature production, and the now-iconic “baby voice” that became a polarizing hallmark of modern trap influence.
Xasachi taps into that same vocal experimentation, leaning into his own delivery with infectious ad-libs and tonal shifts. His approach is electric.
As a kickoff to First Angel, it couldn’t be more appropriately named—the introduction truly feels angelic.
Everything pivots with “Wishmaster,” a stunning and intoxicating transition. At this point, it becomes clear: the Seattle native is planting his flag and carving out his own lane. The instrumental is beautiful chaos—erratic yet hypnotic—and Xasachi doesn’t waste a single second. His vocal agility and wild ad-libs ride every shift in the bass with precision.
Xasachi on “Wishmaster” is the clearest proof of why he’s a vocal chameleon.
Xasachi closes out First Angel with “2016,” a track steeped in nostalgia and subtle homage. The chorus nods to Young Thug’s iconic run that year, blending sentimentality with swagger. In the verse, Xasachi reflects on a past relationship a poignant jab wrapped in personal growth.
The production on “2016” stands out as the most polished on the EP, in contrast to the chaotic energy of “Wishmaster.” Midway through the track, Xasachi shifts into a country-tinged delivery, reminiscent of Young Thug’s Beautiful Thugger Girls and even Lil Wayne’s Rebirth—a fusion of rap, pop, and twang that feels both experimental and authentic.
“2016” captures that lingering, euphoric haze when the high fades but the vibe still lingers. A thoughtful and intentional ending to a genre-blending ride.
