A sonic architect blending reality through sound, whitegirlwasted thrives in liminal spaces—where genres bleed into each other, where emotion meets experimentation, and where raw vulnerability is dressed in avant-garde swagger. His artistry is deeply rooted in the hybrid: fusing Southern African rhythms with the pulse of UK underground sounds, blending hip-hop grit with electronic intricacy, and layering introspective lyricism over warped beats and glitchy textures. A storyteller of the digital age, embracing the contradictions of post-internet culture, his production often feels like an audio collage: lo-fi crackles, frenetic synths, trap snares, and atmospheric flourishes all colliding to form a sound that’s equal parts nostalgic and futuristic. His emotionally charged vocals float through these sonic environments with crystal-clear, deeply human polish!
Elegance—a 6-track sonic centerpiece that carries a grand, noirish drama—is whitegirlwasted’s debut project. Think about couture trap. It’s dark, but not in a bleak way, full of beauty and threat. The production here is layered and booming, with textures that shift between industrial grit, ambient haze, and blown-out basslines.
“SMOKESH!T” is chaotic, dark, and hypnotic. The jam feels like being dropped into a storm of bass and energy. The beat hits hard with a distorted, industrial feel, and whitegirlwasted’s delivery is erratic and intense, almost like he’s spiraling but in control at the same time. Oodaredevil’s feature cranks the madness up even more, making the jam feel overstimulated, manic, but addictive all the same.
“EyeCandy” features some distorted 808s rumbling beneath glitch synths, while vocals slip between nonchalance and emotional unraveling. This one is also a high-end chaos—deliberately unpolished yet immaculately curated.
“what i like” is SoundCloud rap reimagined through a baroque, post-apocalyptic lens as whitegirlwasted channels the underground—raw, experimental, fearless—but filters it through a cinematic, almost fashion-forward sensibility.
Lyrically and sonically, “Elegance” embraces contradiction: wealth and ruin, fame and detachment, romance and nihilism. It is beautifully messy and emotionally charged, and it’s an unmistakable whitegirlwasted signature.
If I were you, this project is exactly what I would be listening to on repeat because it is smoking hot!
