Joshua O'Neal, better known, as A-wun is a perfect testament to the abilities of melodic storytelling, dreamy hard-hitting sonics, and lyricism. As an artist and a producer, A-wun perfectly compliments the sound of relaxed cool southern hospitality, but also creates music for those with multiple subwoofers in their trunks.
Currently, the Florida native is prepping his upcoming project entitled Sirens, Muses, & Vices expected to drop within the next couple of months, and today A-wun comes through with the 2nd release from the project titled "Break It Down" featuring Two-9's Curtis Williams.
The Young Zoe-produced track is an example of the smooth, infectious side of A-wun's music, showcasing his top notch lyricism and captivating flow. On the aforementioned project, Sirens, Muses & Vices, prepare to hear music that is abstract with electric sounds and hard bass, mixed in with a dose of southern charm; SMV has a commanding, larger than life vibe, which will soon put A-wun in a position to take over in 2015. - Thisis50.com

Tampa artist, Awun Official has released his new single “Explode” and its not what you would expect. Awun is usually known for bringing an energetic wave with his artistry but on this particular track, he is displaying his versatile ability.
“Explode” is produced by DUMDRUMZ and is a silky trap composition which may have inspired Awun Official enough to harmonize the hook and the bridge. Of course there is still his natural flow but that’s not our focus here. Upon vibing to the beat and listening to the lyrics, you may find this song is about drugs, women and the artist’s personal account on the accessories that come with these things, and it is not overly hype because honestly, it doesn’t always need to be.
“Explode” is a follow up of his last single “Still Shinin'” which was released very shortly before and highlights a contrast between Awun’s common sauce solidifying his skill as an artist. Also, Awun and DUMDRUMZ have a history of hits together so it’s interesting to see how they have developed over their relationship working with each other. Make sure you search Awun Official on soundcloud to hear “Explode” and a plethora of other tracks and run those numbers up.

Bio
The backdrop of beautiful weather and precarious neighborhoods set the stage for Florida Artist, AwunOfficial. His experiences growing up with hard truths are weaved between smooth basslines and dreamy melodies as he navigates the highs and lows of life.
Performing has always been a part of A-wun's life; his mother & early teachers had him writing poetry & playing instruments as early as elementary school. His obsession with music eventually led him to recording in high school and eventually performing for thousands of people by the time he reached college in Tampa.
AwunOfficial has been working with up-and-coming producers (DumDrumz, Joe Molly, Young Zoe) to create a unique Florida sound that can be described as clean with a slightly trippy edge. He is ready to display his unique twist on this southern perspective just in time for his upcoming project ‘Not Now I’m Busy’.
