Commonly associated with hyperpop but a rap artist through and through, midwxst broke through as a teen in 2020 with "Trying," an alternately high-strung and plaintive single examining his isolation. The melodically inclined MC/singer has further explored a wide range of emotions -- without being averse to boastful irreverence -- across numerous singles and EPs like 2020's Secrets, 2021's SUMMER03, and 2022's better luck next time. His debut full-length album, E3, arrived in 2023.
