open verse for the culture

Written and recorded in Toronto at VinCity Studios, produced by Nick Cassidy, "GOMO x OPEN" is a two-part descent into the psyche of TXNIC. It is a raw exploration of the space between self-reliance and the vulnerability of being seen. GOMO (Grimey On My Own) sets the tone with a hard-earned independence. TXNIC reflects on the void between words and action, choosing the solitude of the grind over the noise of false reactions. It’s a verse for the ones who realized the memories they held onto were the only things keeping the ghosts alive. OPEN shifts the frequency. The armor thins. It’s the late-night internal dialogue of a man who doesn't want to leave—refusing to leave a soul "in the open"—while navigating the movements of a city that watches his every step like a brand. From the "grimey" solitude of the first half to the exposed yearning of the second, this visualizer captures the duality of staying whole in a world designed to divide your attention. If you’ve ever had to turn your losses into your strongest walls, or if you’re fighting to keep a connection from drifting into the open—this is your soundtrack.

Made it to the top straight up from the ghetto

An expression of love and the realization of it.

Following up from their hit single 'ON ME', Txnic and JamDon is continuing their collaborations with SAY SUMN. The two started music together in 2009, it's good to see a decade later they're still working!

First summer in London had some crazy inspiration. This was one of them

Journey to the Caribbean

🫡 They said it was love, but actions speak louder. More than music; it's motivation. 📝: ‪@txnictxnic‬ 🎧: Concept Productions 🎶: Nick Cassidy

ON EVERYTHING.mp3 by Anton Lewis

Ode to Dancehall that made me, Rap that saved me and Fans that paid me.

Txnic is here to represent those that are aware of the environment and conditions put into place to hinder the growth of humanity. In an attempt to spread that awareness, Txnic feels like he needs "pliers" to get into the minds of his listeners and colleagues. BanditoBeatz curated this instrumental perfectly to compliment the current state or dark and airy. The effort is what counts right?

The song “Own Code” is an expression of his life’s blueprint. He brings a touch of Caribbean influence and hip hop finesse in his voice and lyrics. Combining his experiences in his hometown St.Vincent and current residency in Toronto, he ultimately creates his very own code. “It's about having a moral compass and being firm in knowing who you are and what you represent,” Txnic says. “The concept is understanding your purpose and how your actions affect other people. As a man, there’s a certain responsibility to lead, protect, and look out for the people around you. I’ve grown to be that guy.”
