Atlanta Rapper Maverick Christ Shares Motivational Bop “Ocean Current”
Atlanta rapper Maverick Christ has released his new single, “Ocean Current”. The rising independent rapper has been going from strength to strength since bursting on the scene a few years ago and has had an impressive start to 2022. His previous release, “Moving Light Speed”, has already accumulated 100,000 streams on Spotify alone after only being released a few months ago. And sure to capitalise on his growing momentum, “Ocean Current” looks set to be another success.
“Ocean Current” highlights several assets of Maverick Christ that make him stand out, such as the uniqueness of his voice and ability to vary his flow while sitting right in the pocket of each beat. When combining his dynamic and versatile cadence with his insightful and introspective lyrics and a hard-hitting trappy hip-hop beat, “Ocean Current” makes for a great listen.
Speaking further on the new release and how it came about, Maverick says: “I was by the ocean and thinking of many things that I’ve overcome on my way to this point. In the lyrics, I say: ‘Current heavy can’t deter it feed it watch it grow / Invest my time in getting stronger flexing and it shows.’ The track is about overcoming obstacles and investing your time in the things that make you grow as a person in all ways and letting people know where you came from and what you’ve overcome. It’s lifting yourself up and building and riding your wave no matter what anyone says or who tries to stop you.”
With such a strong start to the year and with no plans of slowing down anytime soon, expect to see and hear a lot more from Atlanta Rapper Maverick Christ in 2022. He has more singles lined up for release and undoubtedly will be one to watch. “Ocean Current” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://hypeddit.com/maverickchrist/oceancurrent.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
