Pride on the Mic — Abyss16’s Bold Ride with “The Other CAR”

Abyss16’s latest release, “The Other CAR,” roars in like an engine of self-expression — raw, loud, and unapologetically proud. Recorded in a home studio but radiating the pulse of the streets, this remix single channels cultural pride and personal resilience through every beat and breath.

Built on the foundation of DMX’s “Ruff Ryders Anthem” sample, reimagined by Kassem Dean, the track carries a fierce undercurrent of rebellion while carving out space for identity and honor. Abyss16, also known as Lil Creepy, turns what began as a casual warm-up into a blazing anthem for the underrepresented — a declaration of belonging for the Asian, Pacific Islander, Filipino, and Polynesian communities.

There’s something magnetic about the energy here: it’s both gritty and spiritual. You can almost hear the artist working through his thoughts in real time, pouring out frustration, pride, and gratitude in one breath. It’s this unfiltered honesty that gives “The Other CAR” its edge.

At its core, the track isn’t just about music — it’s about representation and voice. Abyss16 transforms introspection into impact, proving that even the most spontaneous creations can echo far beyond their origin. This one doesn’t just play; it drives straight through the heart.
