Gabriel Audee Drops New Single ‘DICHOTOMY (The Chosen Ones)’
Gabriel Audee’s latest release, ‘DICHOTOMY (The Chosen Ones)’, arrives with the kind of confident swagger that suggests an artist fully stepping into his own vision. Blending indie-pop sensibilities with trap undertones and cinematic production, the track positions him firmly in the new wave of genre-fluid pop architects.
From the outset, the production feels expansive and carefully constructed. JRum’s original instrumental provides a strong foundation, but Audee’s additions transform it into something far more immersive. Layers of synth, guitar, and percussion build a dynamic world that feels both polished and emotionally charged.
The featured performances bring distinct colour to the record. Saule Ilona Vaida’s hook is luminous and atmospheric, floating above the production with a dreamlike clarity. Meanwhile, Lil Dee’s rap bridge cuts through with assertive energy, adding contrast and grounding the track’s more ethereal moments in raw confidence.
Lyrically, the song explores themes of awareness and perception — the idea of “seeing through” illusion and noise. While the messaging is bold, it’s delivered through mood and texture rather than overt declaration, allowing listeners to interpret its meaning in a more personal way.
With its blend of mainstream polish and conceptual ambition, ‘DICHOTOMY (The Chosen Ones)’ feels like a pivotal moment for Gabriel Audee. It’s a track designed for both scale and introspection, signaling an artist comfortable operating at the intersection of accessibility and artistic intent.
Connecticut wordsmith Suave-Ski returns with an audio burner of high proportions. “Burnin & Learnin” is an all-star track, which includes a guest feature from Hieroglyphics rhyme-sniper Casual and boasts a co-production credit from Dead Perry & Apathy.
A smoked-out concoction of ghostly keys, snappin’ drums and a screwed & chopped vocal sample asking “you want to get high?” the two emcees hold lyrical court. When asked if the song is about a literal or metaphorical high, Suave-Ski responded with “both, in a sense that it’s a reset after a long day of grinding, but also that our music is audio dope for those who want a lift.”

The genesis of the beat is also something special, as its first incarnation only had 808’s in the bass register of the track. Deciding it needed a bass-line, Dead Perry enlisted his comrade Lil Jay (who is a multi-platinum producer in his homeland of Denmark). After laying down the verses, Suave-Ski played the rough mix for emcee legend/Demigodz/Army Of The Pharaohs own Apathy. Speaking on that link-up Suave-Ski explained, “Apathy is a mentor and big brother to me, we’ve been collaborating for years now (both on tracks and tours) and he’s always helped where he can. When I played him the rough mix he said he wanted to add a sample and touch it up, I asked Perry if it was cool and he said absolutely! Apathy did some final executive production on it and mixed it down; the final product came out fire!”
With a decade plus in hip-hop, Suave-Ski has also collaborated with artists including Your Old Droog, Blacastan, Sadat X, GT Garza and Krystal Poppin. A seasoned live performer, in addition to touring with Apathy, he also hit stages across North America with Chris Webby, through Europe with ILL BILL and the Snowgoons and one-offs with Styles P, Dave East and Locksmith. His radio appearances include Statik Selektah’s Show Off Radio, The Punchline Academy and an interview with DJ Drewski (Hot 97). A positive force in his local community, Suave-Ski also holds the honors of Connecticut Arts Hero Award (2021) and CT Top 40 Under 40 (2022).
