A17 Shares His Pilot Kid Produced Track “Sides”
San Francisco based artist A17 offers a unique sound that blends dark atmospheric R&B with trap-infused Hip-Hop to create a vibe like no other. Among his contemporaries, A17 stands out by providing his listeners with melodies that take his music to the next level and lyrics that speak to both the hopeless romantic inside all of us and the toxic playboy who tends to get in its way.
A17’s seamless understanding of these concepts leads to a sound that encapsulates the best of both worlds. This sound is first explored in his single "Sides", a song which explores the complex feelings of loving two people at the same time.
Speaking about how the Pilot Kid produced “Sides” was created, A17 says:
“The idea of 'Sides' came to me after I had previously experienced a situation in which I entertained the thought of two girls being interested in me, but from there, everything went downhill. As a result of my inability to make a choice, I began to feel selfish. My heart was torn between two beautiful women. As soon as I heard the beat, I began freestyling melodies reminiscing about the situation, which resulted in 'Sides'.”
