North Carolina artist Toosii has had a breakout year, releasing his February mixtape Platinum Hearts and album Poetic Pain in September, and watching his songs “5 Stars,” “Love Cycle,” “Mercedez,” and “Red Lights” go viral. With each new release, his buzz grows — and that goes for his most recent single from Poetic Pain, “Sapiosexual,” which he brings to the latest edition of UPROXX Sessions. The 20-year-old melodic rapper croons his way through the passionate ballad, expressing his appreciation for his paramour’s thought process as much as her physical attributes.
While he doesn’t have many features out at the moment, that may soon change. Posting his booking email on Instagram, he offered a guest verse to anyone who can pony up a $15,000 fee — which may turn out to be a strong investment, considering how his profile continues to rise.
Watch Toosii perform “Sapiosexual” above.

Deflecting Ghosts confront life’s darkest moments with latest release “Out of the Grave”
Deflecting Ghosts‘ latest release, “Out of the Grave,” combines aggressive, melodic identity with heavy guitars, haunting synths, layered vocal harmonies, powerful screams, and a melodic chorus. These contrasts create a strong balance between weight and emotional expression, giving the song a story behind the music.
The song was written shortly before the songwriter had a heart attack and was diagnosed with serious heart failure, associated with a personal battle for life. It started as a song, but the songwriter fought to live and make music, and it became something else. The experience adds another emotional layer to the release’s intensity, making it feel like a testament to endurance and the drive to keep making things happen despite life’s biggest obstacles.
“Out of the Grave” was mixed and mastered by Bulletride Productions’ Dustin Ridder, capturing the heaviness and melody at the core of Deflecting Ghosts’ sound. It’s a song that is both musically and personally meaningful. It mixes heavy guitars, eerie synths, stacked vocals, and a huge chorus. If you’re into alternative metal and hard rock, this is a potent mix of heavy instruments and a story about overcoming real-life struggle.
