Trenton, New Jersey’s Horizon has been in the rap game for the last ten years, but is still very relevant today, even moreso. Known for his charismatic flow and sincere lyrical outbursts, the rising rapper comes to full fruition on his latest banger and remix single “Shine Beyond (feat. Funkghost)”, a song that is just as powerful as its name, and really sets the bar even higher for today’s independent Hip Hop market; and for good reason.

This hypnotically visceral remix is comprised of an atmospheric beat that encapsulates the perfect balance of old school flavors and today’s modern sensibility. From the drop of the first measure of bars, you can immediately resonate with Horizon’s next-level flow and delivery. He has a distinctive and vital voice for the genre and you can easily imagine his intellectual lyrical approach to be part of the mainstream market at some point. Ontop of the versatile verses, he wraps the track together with a shiny bow with the dangerously catchy and simple-yet-effective chorus. It’s one that will stick in your head immediately and you’ll definitely have a hard time getting it out. But the best part is, you wouldn’t. The chorus has the perfect melody choices for the aura of this song and that is made apparent from the very first listen.

Feature artist Funkghost shares a verse on this banger and diligently parallels what Horizon has already put on the table. Both rappers resonate effectively on this track and they offer up their own angles of the genre in a way that makes them a standout of their calibre both together or separately. It’s a brilliant collaboration from start to finish and it truly shines a light on the remix aspect, offering up something better than the original, like a remix is supposed to. “Shine Beyond” is also a track with that unwavering staying power – the power to stay with you even long after it’s over. It’s an anthem that will easily entice you to delve deeper into Horizon’s discography, as well as anticipate what he has in store for the near future. This track is direct proof that Horizon is far above your average indie rapper; and to keep your eyes (and ears) peeled for his future releases, no matter which era of Hip Hop you favor.

“Shine Beyond” is currently available on Spotify, Apple Music and several other digital music streaming platforms. You won’t regret giving this one a listen. You’ll be glad you did.
