Twenty3wayz “twenty3 & one”

It’s the quiet ones people need to watch out for like the silent but powerful musician from Stockton, CA, Twenty3wayz. No, he isn’t bumping the typical Stockton sound and doesn’t riff on the typical hard-knock themes of the stratified central California town. What Twenty3wayz is all about is killing us with his impressive musical abilities.

Twenty3wayz grew up as an observer of the injustices and traumas on the streets of his city; an observer of the taste-makers and rappers that came through his uncle’s small music studio; and an observer of his own mind and experience. When he finally had enough of keeping everything in, he finally let it out. And to the surprise of many, he let out the clearest of messages in the cleanest of flows.

Writing mainly through freestyle and feeding off influences from Lil Wayne to Blake Shelton,  the young emcee accepts no boundaries on his expression. His debut album Love Sex Pain was only topped by the revelation that was 2023’s Hood Romantic. Fans are tapping into something deeper as they venture into the sounds and stylings of Twenty3wayz.

A stellar single off of Hood Romantic, “twenty3 & one” marks a milestone moment for our young artist from Stockton. Giving listeners a tour of his state of mind through his come-up, Twenty3wayz absolutely crushes the beat laid out by none other than master producer, Dae One. Mr. Dae One works with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, and Ice Cube, to name a few. Take a moment to let that sink in and then remember this is only the beginning for Twenty3wayz.

Fans everywhere are enjoying the complimentary visuals for “twenty3 & one” in the music video directed by Blu. Crafted with its fair share of clever shots, the flick supplements the down-to-earth vibe of the track. Follow the allegorical journey of its protagonist ridding himself of his means of violence, paralleling Twenty3wayz shedding of his own traumas and pains through music.
