Hip-hop ain’t dead—it’s very much alive and highly rated record producer Bonkers proves that with his latest sonic experience dubbed “POPULAR”

Bridging the generational gap with his innovative hip-hop and rap style that honors the foundation the golden age sound was built upon—the kind that allowed so many music heads to fall in love with the genre, iconic music producer Bonkers is continuously establishing himself as a musical maverick and trailblazer whose knack for sample-based productions and infectious beats allow him to craft soundscapes that transcend obvious trends and elevate the essence of hip-hop and rap. With an ear for infectious rhythms and an audacious approach to production, Bonkers bends the rules of popular sound, stretching them into something unmistakably his own.

I’m itching to tell you the story of his latest release, “POPULAR,” one of the most captivating productions I have listened to in a while. What he just heard on TV as a small part of a commercial for the now award-winning Musical “Wicked,” was sampled and transformed into this mind-blowing hip-hop experience that showcases his artistic prowess that thrives at the intersection of innovation and raw musical instinct.

This isn’t just an ear-worming beat but a sonic experience that leaves an imprint from the first listen. In a way, he takes you back to a golden age where hip-hop wasn’t just heard but felt. The beat is delectable and infectious—modestly designed and dexterously executed, giving it a contemplative vibe that you cannot escape.

Linking up with rapper Snarf who does not let the beat go to waste, “POPULAR” captures the essence of life in the streets, growth, betrayal, loyalty, staying humble, keeping your head down, and focusing on the thing that best helps you elevate.

This is what real hip-hop and rap music sounds and feels like. Right from the opening notes, the music just grabs you and refuses to let go even after it is no more. This beat is addictive, to say the least, and leaves its indelible mark on you.

This is what Bonkers does—a tastemaker in his own right, he can blend grit with polish, underground edge with mainstream appeal, nostalgia with futurism. So, whether he’s crafting a banger for the clubs, a reflective joint for the streets, or an experimental track that shifts the sonic landscape, Bonkers is always ahead of the curve—one step ahead of the game, setting the pace for what’s next.

Listen to “POPULAR” below and tell me this isn’t real hip-hop right here…I’ll be waiting!
