Out of San Jose, California, emerges a voice that isn’t just here to rhyme — he’s here to resonate. Known as MENACE, this rising artist is more than a name — he’s an emotional architect, crafting soundscapes that balance on the edge of agony and elevation.
Influenced early on by the raw rebellion of Green Day and Paramore, MENACE eventually found his deeper identity through the emotional gravity of artists like XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD. These roots carved out his sonic universe — one that is limitless, melodic, and always authentic.
Describing his sound as “indefinitive,” MENACE doesn’t follow trends — he bends them. Whether he’s pulling from a past pain or projecting into a future possibility, his process is fluid, fueled by real-life moments and inner fire. He’s the kind of artist who doesn’t chase inspiration — he lives it.
His latest single, “Blood Rain,” is the continuation of a journey that began with his debut 3-track EP “AGONY.” With AGONY, MENACE took listeners deep into the pits of mental turmoil, battling depression, trauma, and identity. “Blood Rain” rises from those same ashes, but this time with light cutting through the storm. It’s a sonic metaphor — after the pain, the rain, the numbness — there’s renewal. A New Dawn.
“Blood Rain” maintains the same haunting production style, but with uplifted energy — proof that growth doesn’t mean forgetting the past, but owning it.
MENACE isn’t just pushing music. He’s pushing purpose. Through his social media, he offers more than a highlight reel — he gives glimpses into the man behind the music, forming real connections with his audience. There’s transparency, vulnerability, and above all, truth.
He lives by the mantra of infinity — taking from life, giving back through art, and inspiring others to live fully. With his first microphone marking a milestone, it’s clear that for MENACE, every step, every song, is personal. Every beat holds a piece of his soul.
