New music from Arrow Santi

Arrow Santi is a Long Island-based rap artist who’s been a notable presence in the hip hop scene since 2015. Known for his unique sound that blends laid-back melodic verses with high-energy choruses, he crafts music that elicits a spectrum of emotions and moods.

Despite personal struggles, Arrow Santi injects his tracks with uplifting sounds, aiming to provide solace to his listeners. Arrow Santi’s journey into the world of hip hop has been marked by a commitment to authenticity and a desire to connect with his audience while his live performances across Long Island and New York City have earned him widespread attention.

The roots of Arrow Santi’s musical inspiration trace back to his youth when attending live shows became a powerful experience. Witnessing his favourite artists perform ignited the spark that eventually led him to become an artist himself. His music not only reflects his diverse influences but also serves as a showcase of his resilience in the face of personal challenges.

Since his debut in 2015 with the track “Different,” a collaboration with Lynyk, Arrow Santi has been on a prolific journey, dropping well-received singles leading up to his debut album, The Ca$H Tape, released last year. Building on this momentum, he now presents his sophomore record, Sanctuary of Serenity, a collection of twelve emotionally charged songs.

Opened by “Angelic,” Arrow Santi serves up a spacey ninety second cut that sees him thread his smooth vocal flows and overlapping layers over a bouncy electronic beat and whirling sonic textures. “Too Far Gone (Hardly)” offers a downtempo hip hop sound cut with emotive R&B aesthetic where bright harp style instrumentation underpins Aroow Santi’s dynamic vocal performance.

“Said & Done” starts with delicate acoustic guitar plucks, joined by the warm tones of bass and bright piano plinks before the snap of the beat ushers in the artist’s mellow vocal delivery. Crafting an emotive sound, he lays down a moving sound that reveals the depths of his emotionally-charged artistic output.

Other highlights on the record include songs like “Tattered” with its airy blend of guitar tones and punchy beats as Arrow Santi threads slick vocal flows above the moody sonic atmosphere. The album closes with “Pain & Fame,” starting with elegant jazz-style aesthetic before gliding into a beat-driven sound capped by floating vocal leads to craft a superb finale to the artist’s worthy second full-length record.
