Amid hip-hop’s current sound of grit, swag, and rawness, looksee risks outright challenging that narrative with “X7 (67 REMIX).” This is not your typical remix by a rapper, but a 67-track reimagining through a Christian perspective, produced to spread the gospel.
“X7 (67 REMIX)” hits hard from the start, even as an uncommon brightness runs through it. Where the original embraced street energy, looksee has ushered in the spiritual kingdom, maintaining a bouncy rhythm to keep heads bobbing while injecting faith-driven purpose. It’s a bold choice, and one that could make it feel simultaneously comforting and invigorating in its liberties.
looksee approaches the mic with confidence and determination. With a tight flow and piercing delivery, faith has a place in every corner of music culture, including hip-hop. Rather than shying away from the genre’s raw intensity, looksee embraces it, confirming that you don’t have to water down gospel messages to make a deeply resonant one. It’s a blistering gospel track that shows those messages can be rough, bright, and unapologetically raw.
“X7 (67 REMIX)” is a commentary on how far hip-hop can travel when rappers aren’t afraid to meld their art with their faith. For those hankering for rap with a side of substance, it’s a welcome reminder that bars can hit just as hard even when they spread a message of light.
looksee has a mission with this release, and he wants his version of the gospel to reach the ears of people who might not ordinarily tune in. By appropriating the tension of drill-influenced hip-hop and infusing it with hope, he creates a wonderfully open space for faith and culture to engage in conversation. With “X7 (67 REMIX),” looksee brings not just a remix but a redefinition. It’s a ceremonial anthem with attitude, and it embodies a powerful truth that hip-hop, in all its forms, can be a vessel for change.
