Metaphysical, the stage persona of Philip Singer, crafts hip-hop with a rare depth seldom found in today’s independent landscape. His latest single, “34th Floor,” cements his place as an artist who turns scars into art. Born in Pasadena and shaped by California’s Central Valley, Singer’s music is steeped in hard-won wisdom, hardened through addiction, a traumatic car accident and coma, chronic epilepsy, and years spent battling systemic adversity—including homelessness and a harrowing police encounter.
Yet, it’s not just survival that defines Metaphysical—it’s vision. After military service and a long road to medical stability, he infuses his lyrics with gratitude and urgency. “34th Floor” emerges as more than a track: it’s a statement of resilience, blending vintage soul and sharp contemporary production in service of storytelling that never pities, only uplifts.
Offstage, Singer’s ambition is similarly boundary-pushing. His beverage brand H I G H Ice Tea now sits on Kroger shelves, and his publishing venture, Fred Sanford Music, is gaining traction. Each enterprise is underpinned by the same ethos: turn pain into possibility, and never quit.
Features in UBO MAG, Daily Music Roll, and IssueWire reflect a burgeoning respect for his artistry. For those seeking substance and hope in hip-hop, Metaphysical delivers—his music resonates as both testimony and triumph.
