matt proxy is energy personified
It’s not every day that a rising star so forth coming with their musical techniques and processes. Matt Proxy on the other hand – like everything about him – is different.
Home to almost 28,000 subscribers, his channel titled, ‘Matt p’ has everything from beat tutorials, creative seminars, live streams, and music videos, and photo dumps. Akin to an instagram spam page, this constant and unedited flow of content mirrors the ever flowing creative conscious and ball of energy that Proxy embodies.
And although most would attribute this consistent but erratic releases as a case of quantity over quality – it couldn’t be further from the truth.
Co-signs all the way from Kanye West to Fakemink, the Minneapolis native has been producing and releasing tapes from 15 years old. First making his mark as a respectable name in the ‘alt-experimental’ rap scene with ep/mixtapes, Beating a Dead Horse and Horse Play. (2025)
His breakout debut album, Trojan Horse (2026) brought the Proxy sound to a main stage – connecting to more, larger, speakers. Nothing short a musical buzzsaw, tracks are cutting through all strains of sound and blending within each inside or Proxy’s spiked musical flashbang. A debut release tight with features from only fakemink, current joys, and frequent collaborator never goodbye, gives great space for Matt’s undying youthful spirit to imprint its sound.
Standout songs include: “BLUE” “5” “God” “NEVER KILL YOURSELF”
It’s a very authentic rap taste inside of matt proxy’s musical candy store. Octane, passionate free flows over soul chops on Tyler the creator reddit-sourced drum kits. Everything about Proxy is internet but still full of heart; rare to see in music feels like a thin trend chase in both style and sound.
Matt proxy has captured his every flowing chaotic mind into his body and expression. A fresh patch of grass to the beaten fields of the controlled and hand-crafted personas of artists around him.
Artists like Proxy who fully embrace the flow of life, of energy, of self-create a pocket of fresh air for us to breathe, especially me. The world is suffocating – full of expectation, doubt, and addiction of forward progress. We all force it because we want it so bad, whatever it might be. The moment will fleet faster than the future can come so we are stuck in constant ebbs and never in flow. An artist like Proxy who not for one second cares about tomorrow but about now and only now is a great reminder for us all.
Keep creating.
