VNCHY – Eminent: 002A_0316 [EP]

Toronto based artist VNCHY drops off his new EP, “Eminent: 002A_0316”. NCHY describes Eminent as a “nostalgic journey of the soul” with the stated purpose to “uplift the mind and the body.” If this sounds like a lot, check the music—brooding, moody, at times even gloomy. “It’s a lot more emotionally driven, a lot more spiritual,” he says. This trilogy of EPs has been in the works since 2015. “We had all these sequences set forth that would be congruent with each other,” says VNCHY, sounding more like a research scientist than a rapper. “As much as it comes down to notes, music is also a pattern that you leave within your habits and your lifestyle. They all play a part in this great symphony that we’re laying down for the world.” Take a listen below.
