UK rapper IZ is gearing up to drop his highly anticipated debut mixtape, A Step Up, blending the fresh vibes of today with the nostalgic sounds of 2000s hip hop.
This project promises a unique fusion of modern beats and throwback energy, giving listeners a mix of feel-good music that can get anyone dancing, Hitvibz reports.
The mixtape draws inspiration not just from music but also from iconic dance films like Honey and Step Up, which influenced both the sound and the title of the project.
It’s all about creating tracks that make you move, whether you’re in the club or vibing alone.
Packed with 10 tracks of pure, upbeat energy, ‘A Step Up’ transports listeners back to the golden days of 2000s hip hop when experimental, party-driven sounds ruled the scene.
One standout track, “Function,” takes inspiration from 50 Cent’s classic hit “In Da Club,” but IZ adds his UK flair with local slang, unique beats, and a fresh flow.
The lead single, “Gets Like,” is a party anthem made especially for the ladies, keeping up the mixtape’s theme of danceable, high-energy rap.
The entire project reflects IZ’s love for dance movies, with beats designed to make anyone get up and move.
