Cleveland-born artist 3vd has just unleashed WW3, a genre-blurring body of work that refuses to be boxed in. From producing to engineering to spitting sharp, melodic bars, 3vd does it all- creating engaging, forward-thinking work in the process. He’s been immersed in music since childhood, and it shows in the precision and polish of every track. Rather than stick to one lane, WW3 crashes through sonic borders, weaving raw emotion, infectious hooks, and unflinching commentary into a gripping experience.
3vd blends elements of hip-hop, rage, trap, noise music, and R&B for a dynamic, eclectic listen. Opener “Ch@lk 3m Up” introduces the album’s confident, raw sound with dark, twisting samples, booming rhythms, and powerful vocals from 3vd. “Search + Destroy” is a catchy album highlight with intense layers of synths, massive 808s, and imposing percussion, alongside sharp vocal lines. “Bruhhhhhh!!!!”, a lead single from the project, distills the record’s focused, gritty sound with bristling sonics underscoring 3vd’s sharply-crafted, memorable vocals.
3vd’s latest is another testament to his creativity, expressive style, and hard-hitting sound, with an infectious, energizing set of tracks that draw the listener in and immerse them from the get-go. Listen to WW3 here now.
