midwxst

Though midwxst maintains a core identity as a rapper, he is frequently linked to the hyperpop scene. He first gained notice in 2020 while still a teenager, releasing the single “Trying,” a track that alternated between tense and vulnerable as it chronicled personal isolation. The MC and singer, known for melodic phrasing, continued to examine an expansive emotional spectrum across multiple singles and EPs—Secrets in 2020, SUMMER03 in 2021, and better luck next time. in 2022—while remaining open to moments of boastful irreverence. His first proper studio album, E3, appeared in 2023.

Raised in Carmel within the Indianapolis metropolitan area, Edgar Nathaniel Sarratt III began creating music by connecting with producers on platforms such as Roblox and SoundCloud. After securing a licensing arrangement with Geffen, he issued his commercial debut single, “Liar.” He followed with additional singles and the nine-track EP Secrets during the remainder of 2020, closing the year with “Trying,” which stood as his most prominent release at the time. In 2021 he returned with the seven-track SUMMER03 and the eight-track BACK IN ACTION; the latter emphasized harder-edged material suited to live performance. Its 2022 successor, better luck next time., offered greater stylistic range. September 2023 brought the arrival of E3, introduced by the single “Tally” featuring Denzel Curry.
