In a world full of filters, smoke screens, and curated versions of reality, Panic8577 steps into the booth with nothing but the truth on his latest single, “Honest.”
With a no-holds-barred approach, this underground hip-hop artist puts vulnerability front and center, delivering a message that cuts through the noise: be real—with yourself and with everyone around you.
From the very first bar, “Honest” establishes itself as more than just a track—it’s a statement. It’s introspective without being preachy, bold without being aggressive. Panic8577’s voice rides the beat with confidence, but it’s what he’s saying that hits the hardest. He doesn’t just spit rhymes—he delivers truths that many feel but rarely say out loud.
“I’m a creator for the people. For the creatives who want to say the things I say to the people they need to say them to—but can’t. So I say it for them so they don’t receive the backlash.”
That alone speaks volumes. He’s not just rapping for clout—he’s speaking for the silent voices, for those navigating emotional landmines and complicated relationships. “Honest” becomes a kind of musical middleman between the heart and the world, giving people permission to be authentic without fear.
The production keeps things stripped-back and real—nothing too flashy, just smooth, steady beats that give room for the lyrics to breathe. This minimalism serves the message. The honesty isn’t just in the words—it’s in the whole vibe of the song.
At its core, “Honest” is about embracing truth as a lifestyle, even when it's uncomfortable. Whether it’s in personal relationships, self-reflection, or creative expression, Panic8577 is reminding us that honesty is the highest form of loyalty—to yourself and to others.
“I hope people enjoy the music first, then understand the message behind the music.”
And that’s the balance he strikes so well: delivering art that feels good, then sticks with you long after the last note fades.
With a mission rooted in authenticity, Panic8577 continues to carve a lane of his own. “Music is life,” he reminds us—and for him, it’s not just about the sound, but the substance. As he puts it best: stay focused on your goals 4life.
