Lil Texas pushes the boundaries of speed with a blend of rawstyle, gabber, and uptempo hardcore on his brand-new album, NEED FOR SPEED.
Lil Texas has always been known to turn the dial up to 11 when disrupting the dance music norm. Since 2018, America’s beloved cowboy has been showcasing his own take on hardcore music, dubbed Texcore. With early beginnings in an interesting trap and Jersey club intersection, Lil Texas has found his footing within hard dance music. He’s pushing the scene in America to unprecedented heights with his uniquely distorted kick drums and vibrant personality in tow.
Since the beginning of his journey in hardcore, Lil Texas has treated fans to brand-new ideas that have been extremely polarizing, but undoubtedly innovative in the grand scheme of his project. While many didn’t initially understand his mission, his legion of fans has helped him take a spot at the top of the scene, resulting in worldwide bookings and plenty of great music.
Now, Lil Texas has finally unveiled his third album, NEED FOR SPEED. Alluding to the iconic video game franchise characterized by fast cars and high-speed races, this album captures the feeling of adrenaline rushing throughout your body. Tracks like “Why Can’t You See,” “2 Tha Rhythm,” and “Into This” highlight Lil Texas’ gabber and early hardcore influences. He takes it up one more notch with kick drums that many can try to imitate, but will never replicate.
Out-of-the-box ideas aside, Lil Texas also used the new album to provide a platform for the best producers in the scene regardless of popularity or following. On NEED FOR SPEED, Lil Texas enlisted the help of forward-thinking artists like Dr Donk and Refox while spotlighting the future of hardcore on collaborations with 16-year-old DitzKickz and America’s uptempo prodigy, EQUAL2.
NEED FOR SPEED is a versatile collection of bangers that provides the jolt of energy you need to get through your morning or keep the party going late into the night.
