Emerging artist Owae returns with Time, an experimental rap track that feels both timely and timeless. Known for weaving different worlds into his music, Owae steps into a creative space where rap collides with atmosphere and social commentary fuses with soulful storytelling.
Time does not simply ride on rhythm; it challenges it. The song explores the contradictions of modern life where schedules, greed, and the pursuit of status grind against fleeting joys. Owae delivers his verses with a conviction that mirrors the urgency of the message, while a melodic chorus drifts between euphoria and disruption, anchoring the listener in the push and pull between freedom and restraint. His words are not just bars; they are indictments of the imbalance in today’s world.
Musically, the track pushes past conventional rap formulas. Opening with ambient layers of sea waves and birdsong, it creates a striking contrast with the sharp cadence of his flow. This decision highlights Owae’s instinct for tension: peace against chaos, nature against industry, clarity against confusion. The result is a listening experience that feels both reflective and electrifying.
Raised in the same DMV neighborhood as Logic, Owae carries a hometown grit while carving out his own unpredictable identity. Having already drawn more than 170K views across platforms in just a few months, his trajectory is quickly gaining momentum. Influences from artists like Tyler, the Creator and Childish Gambino echo faintly in his approach, but his originality lies in the way he flips everyday themes such as love, ambition, and doubt into ideas that feel unfamiliar yet universal.
Time is not just a song about hours slipping away; it is about perspective, about how we live inside and against the ticking clock. It feels like an end of summer anthem for anyone caught between chasing dreams and getting lost in the grind. With this release, Owae proves he is not simply experimenting with sound. He is building a voice that insists on being heard.
