Artistry
Musical style
OsamaSon has been compared to a number of his contemporaries, including Chief Keef, Playboi Carti,[5] Destroy Lonely, Ken Carson,[7] Future,[8] and the late Speaker Knockerz.[2] He is known for his experimental sound—dubbed "maximalist rage" by the Fader's Vivian Medithi—which is characterized by a heavy usage of bass and synths;[2][6] his musical style was described as "woozy, discombobulating, and sometimes suffocatingly layered" by Leor Galil of the Chicago Reader.[4]
