Genre-Infusing Hip Hop Artist Snez Delivers Honest Single on Self Opposition with “Never Enough”

[Evan Parker]

Snez is the artist name of Ezra Mendel, a hip hop artist from the Annapolis Valley, NS. Snez’s versatile fusion of elements from rock and pop with hip hop and rap are key aspects of his style. As a young teen, he dropped his first two singles which immediately garnered attention in his home town and would be asked to freestyle at parties, leading to being referred to as the “Jewish kid who can actually rap.” He is currently building his local and online audience and working on his first full-length release. 

The inspiration for new single, “Never Enough,” comes from Snez’s regular inner back-and-forth dialogue about his struggle with substance abuse, pride, overthinking and self-worth. He also opted out of working with a professional producer to record, mix and master the track themselves to add a personal and unpolished feel to the raw lyrics. 

The lyrics feature a fight for control between my two conflicting personalities, Ezra and Snez; a desperate man trying to keep his head above water, and drugged up alter ego pulling him under. – Snez
