Itsxea Ignites 2025 with Gritty New Single “Pat Bateman”
Brisbane’s rising hip-hop talent, Itsxea, is setting the stage for a breakthrough year with his latest track, Pat Bateman. Known for his raw energy and unfiltered lyricism, Itsxea delivers a hard-hitting anthem that captures his signature trap-infused sound, solidifying his presence in the rap scene.
A Freestyle Approach to Gritty Storytelling
Drawing inspiration from viral freestyle trends, Itsxea took a spontaneous approach to Pat Bateman, allowing the rhythm and energy to guide him rather than meticulously scripting each line. The result? A track that oozes natural confidence, aggressive flows, and an unrelenting beat that keeps listeners hooked.
But his songwriting process starts long before he enters the studio. Itsxea internalizes ideas, rhythms, and melodies days in advance, ensuring that when he records, the music feels both organic and refined. This method has been instrumental in shaping his sound, as seen in previous releases like his Pretty Girls Like Trap Music EP.
Influences and Industry Recognition
Itsxea’s style is a fusion of inspirations drawn from industry heavyweights like Pop Smoke, Future, XXXTentacion, Lil Baby, and Sheff G. These influences have helped him carve out a sound that balances powerful bass-driven beats with melodic undertones, making his music both commanding and emotionally resonant.
His growing reputation has already caught the attention of notable figures in the industry, including Cordae, Lil Baby, and Denzel Curry. Additionally, personal interactions with artists like Sheff G and YBN Nahmir have further validated his rising status in the rap world.
The Independent Grind
Navigating the music industry as an independent artist is no small feat, but Itsxea has embraced the challenge. From securing ISRC licenses and handling music distribution rights to self-promoting his tracks, he’s proven that his work ethic matches his talent. His hands-on approach ensures that his artistic vision remains unfiltered and uncompromised.
Live Performances and Defining Moments
One of Itsxea’s standout moments in his career was his live performance at Hifi Studio in Brisbane for Hood’s Hottest Events and Taxem Entertainment. The energy, the crowd, and the shared ambition among artists created an electrifying atmosphere that fueled his passion for performing.
“If I had a choice, I’d swap my morning coffee for a live stage performance any day,” he says, highlighting his deep love for connecting with audiences through his music.
What’s Next for Itsxea?
With Pat Bateman already making waves, 2025 is set to be a defining year for Itsxea. A new EP is in the works, featuring major collaborations that promise to elevate his sound even further. Fans can also look forward to podcast interviews, behind-the-scenes content, and an official music video for Pat Bateman, set to premiere on YouTube Music soon.
