#IndustryStandard is a collection of songs aimed to tackle "Industry Standard" music genres on different tracks. This album is more up-tempo and in your face, but it still blends together elements of Rock, Country, Soul, Trap, Hip-Hop, and R&B. Hidntrackz worked to make this album more concise than previous album to stay on focus with the message that he was trying to deliver. He thinks #IndustryStandard pulls this off in a great way.  Vocals on some of the songs feature MICHAEL YOUNG, WILLIE REYNOLDS, BIG MAGIC, BEN TREXEL, and DEE PAYNE.
 
It’s rare to find a father, husband, artist, producer, entrepreneur, videographer, writer, songwriter, promoter = Mogul in Training doing all of these things and more. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, HidNTrackz always had interest in the world of soulful R&B and hip-hop. He realized his potential in the music world and began writing and creating his own songs while in college. His EP, The Misconceptions of Me was carefully crafted when he took many personal experiences and created personal masterpieces to offer the hip-hop and rap world.  For HidNTrackz, the next great song was always right there at his fingertips. For years, the southern songwriter/hip-hop/rapper has written from his personal experiences. “I really focus on making music that speaks from my soul and what I’m experiencing in those moments. My music almost error on the side of being too personal, but I feel that real life experiences, especially obstacles and setbacks, exposes the best canvases to create some of the most beautiful art.”
 
The complete track listing includes: 1. Workflow, 2. Hip Hop, 3. Money & Power ft. Willie Reynolds, 4. Let's Go, 5. Do What You Do ft. Michael Young & Ben Trexel, 6. Beessh Be Gone ft. Big Magic & Ben Trexel, 7. Bent, 8. Last Breath, 9. Eyez On The Hustle, 10. Gotta Get It, 11. Dayummm (Oh Yeah), 12. Hip Rock Hop ft. Ben Trexel, and 13. Blessings ft. Dee Payne & Ben Trexel.
 
HidNTrackz last EP (album), “The Misconceptions of Me covered different points in his life.  On both albums HidNTrackz has one thing that many rappers these days lack, and that is substance; most other rappers rhyme about girls, money and sex. HidNTrackz raps about deep essential things such as life, love and knowledge.

Even My Tears Are Acidic

ALX - All I Wanna (Original Mix)[MUSTACHE CREW RECORDS]

The track was produced by HidNTrackz for the first album being put together for Krisis (Joulz). Unfortunately it never came out, but this was the lead single. We got a hot track out of it either way. Now it gets to live on Soundcloud. Check out "Chewing" by Krisis.

"Chewing" - Krisis (Joulz) - Prod. By HidNTrackz

On this track Mars, we discuss the particulars of taking outer space trips without ever leaving Earth. Weaving through a melodic beat, I set the tone for a funky ride on "Mars", a track of my debut album "The Misconceptions of Me". Listen and hope you enjoy.

The Misconceptions Of Me

Mars

On this track "Golden Gates", I reached out to my late uncle Michael Young who helped to bring this chorus to life for me. 

My uncle Mike always supported my music. He would come to studio sessions and just chill, come to all my show and events, and would just ride with me to do an event somewhere. We really bonded off of the love and joy of music. 

My uncle Mike sang in church choirs, rock bands, and everything else in between. He told me one thing, he said "nephew, never stop trying and making music. You have a gift, the right people just ain't heard it yet." With that said I'm on a mission to get my new and catalog music into ears of as many people possible. I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics below:

The pressures of life - it keep me filled with strife
The lord done sent me a wife and we can’t really get it right
Every night she mad - my emotions take flight
My little homie from Jersey got me thinking bout a new life
Not necessarily with her - but one away from my wife
I asked the lord to help me cuz I don’t know if it’s right
But I want to be happy before the end of my life
It’s weighing heavy on me - I can’t seem to do what she like
To further complicate the situation - she breeding a new life
A boy, a third - we already know who he gone be like
Statistics point to black males that come from a fatherless life
So should I stay, should I go - It be the questions of the day
Will my son be wondering - Am I the reason away
So while I’m lying in bed- I question why did I wake
Cuz see the choices I done made done put me right here today
They say it will be so much easier when I get to them gates

Chorus

Now I just opened up my soul - some things I shouldn’t have spoke
But the goal of my music is for you to hear my soul
And some bars that I done spit they guaranteed to take they toil
But If I don’t tell my truth- then will it ever be told
And when my story end I hope that they be calling me old
But in the right now this pain will take a toll on your soul
I ask him for relief but it seems that there’s nowhere to go
So I burn up on that sticky sometimes in blunt or a bowl
And people want to judge me for it cuz that’s the way I cope
Them golden gates is looking my moment of hope
So while I scan the perimeter for a gun or some rope
I wonder who would really miss me - would it be hard to cope
Cuz when I’m gone, I’m gone - It’s like a slippery slope
Thinking bout my mortality - it’s still room to probe
You don’t have to worry bout me being in robes
Unless he take me early then them Golden Gates my goal

Workflow (Intro)

From a young boy HidNTrackz always had a passion for music. It started as little boy listening to his mother playing Prince as his father was looking for his Earth, Wind, & Fire. HidNTrackz excelled in sports and academics early on. It wasn't until later on in life did HidNTrackz realize he had a talent for music. He always knew he was paying attention to things, lyrically and sonically, that his counterparts had no clue about. After hearing one his friends being featured on a late night Hip Hop Freestyle show on college radio (UA), something clicked in him to where he thought hey maybe I can do this. 
"I feel like I got a lot to offer to the game", says HidNTrackz. "You know when you got that song and at the end there's that hidden track. Well, that song may end up being better than the song that's featured!" It's this type of mentality that has pushed HidNTrackz to become the artist that he is. Combining a hard work ethic and a street smart business savvy, HidNTrackz has arrived full force and looking to take no prisoners.
