How do you process pain and loss? How do you show the world that you are healing? For Def-i, one of New Mexicoโs inspiring artists, the answer is through music. No stranger to lyrical acrobatics with penetrating content, Def-i’s last album, Blue Hour, showcased his evolution and growth as an artist and human being, delivering the most vulnerable songwriting of his career. Now heโs back with a new spin on the project with the Blue Hour Remixes.
Reuniting with enigmatic producer Ariano to collaborate on the Blue Hour remixes, Arianoโs production brings it back to classic breakbeats and samples and sets a moody canvas for Def-i to do what he does best. With an effortless flow, he is a true master of his craft, tackling intense issues with ease where others would struggle to find the words. Def-i takes his sorrow and brings it to life with a soundtrack that is painful, yet triumphant and curative.
From songs like โBest Friends Forever,โ a tribute to Def-iโs best friend and New Mexico legend, the late Wake Self, to โSouthwest featuring moments with the iconic Sway Callaway of Sway’s Universe ,โ and โNot Like Meโ, the Remixes album puts Def-I’s limitless talent on display.
Blue Hour Remixes is not Defiโs best work to date because he is still out-rapping people like he always does; itโs simply his best work yetโฆbecause this music is healing and this album is a boombastic remedy for a broken heart that turns a listener into a peaceful warrior.
