Wax Motif Defies Genres in New Album, ‘House Of Wax II’

3 days ago 7

Wax Motif returns with a sharper artistic vision on his sophomore album, which features Ty Dolla $ign, DJ Jazzy Jeff, MC Lan, ZHU, and MAETA.

Wax Motif has long been celebrated for blurring the boundaries between house and hip-hop, but House of Wax II sees him pushing those limits even further. His sophomore LP, out now via his Divided Souls imprint, expands into a rich global fusion, integrating R&B, funk, and Latin influences. This more refined sound finds Wax Motif collaborating with major industry names to solidify his evolution as a genre-defying artist.

Wax Motif trades his signature heavy bass for a sultry vibe on the opener, “You Forget.” Featuring R&B maven Maeta, this track offers a masterclass in restraint before the album dives headfirst into the high-octane energy of “Touch It” and “Gimme That Money.”

Frequent collaborator and double platinum icon Ty Dolla $ign lends his melodic touch to the confident, minimal vibes of “Bad & U Know It,” while “Run It Up” sees 24hrs and Juos helping Wax craft a dark, hip-hop-infused bass house anthem. Both tracks highlight his seamless transition into a more global, collaborative sound.

Wax Motif’s House of Wax II is a globally minded project that expertly blends house with R&B, Latin, and hip-hop influences. By delivering club-ready hits that work in any setting, he solidifies his status as a top-tier, multi-genre producer.

Commemorating this landmark release, Wax Motif has announced a 20-date North American tour. Making stops in Las Vegas, Chicago, Houston, Toronto, Charlotte, and more, Wax Motif is bringing House of Wax II to life.

House of Wax II is out now on Spotify or your preferred platform. Visit Wax Motif’s official website to purchase tickets to the House of Wax II tour.
