The Maskali - Noir -

​Washington-based artist The Maskali
brought the surprise heat of the night with his killer track, "Noir".
From the moment that slick jazzy bassline drops, you’re transported straight into a high-octane car chase scene--Mark Wahlberg vibes all the way. It’s gritty, it’s cinematic, and it immediately hooks you.

The kicks and snares? Pure nostalgia, evoking the golden age of Tony Hawk Pro Skater. If you’ve ever landed a perfect combo while blasting through a halfpipe, you know the vibe. Then Maskali steps in with his verse and chorus, and everything clicks into place. His flow and delivery channel the smooth, infectious energy of A Tribe Called Quest's “Award Tour,” while the quirky, futuristic spirit of Beastie Boys' “Intergalactic” looms large.

The result? A track that’s undeniably fun, effortlessly cool, and dripping with style. It’s a vibe-heavy anthem, perfect for late-night drives or vibing out with your crew. The Maskali delivers a nostalgic yet fresh experience that’s sure to make waves.

Final Verdict:
7.5/10—a track that effortlessly blends old-school cool with modern flair. Play it loud, and let the vibes take over.
