Emerging hip-hop artist SASH has returned with his chilling new single “THIN ICE” today. Produced with Apex Martin (Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, G-Eazy) and Mike Dean (Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Travis Scott) the new track follows last month’s single “ROSSI” and finds SASH building off of his debut project, Bittersweet.
The accompanying video, which was directed by SASH and Diego Andrade, brings more mystery and depth to the track, featuring SASH playing a game of chess against himself. SASH describes the single as “a song about the uncertainty or unpredictability of life on the move. Making a home out of wherever you go rather than a home in a certain location. Never staying put and finding comfortability in the unknown – like a walk on a lake that is frozen over with a thin sheet of ice.”
SASH’s innate ability to blend classic and modern sounds stems from his upbringing on the Lower East Side. As a seventh generation New Yorker, SASH pulls much of his inspiration from the city – namely the moodiness and sophistication of 1970’s jazz clubs and film noir. His father was also a major musical influence, raising SASH on his extensive hip-hop vinyl collection. SASH channels both of these styles in his music, videos, and overall aesthetic as he builds out his artistic landscape. With plenty of new music on the way, we can expect to continue gaining insight into SASH’s universe!
