Classik (Charles Monterroza) is an acclaimed recording artist, songwriter, and producer from Toronto, Canada. Known for his soul-stirring lyrics and infectious hooks, Classik has built a reputation for creating music that resonates deeply with listeners. His journey began with the influence of hip-hop’s golden age, which became not just music but a lifeline to express the unspoken parts of his life. Born to Salvadoran refugees who escaped the civil war, Classik’s music reflects the grit of life’s hardships and the resilience that pushes through them. With over 40 projects in his discography, his collaborations with jazz-rap luminaries like Karmawin, CrazyJaZz, and Shin-Ski further solidify his place in the genre. His fearless approach to life’s toughest subjects makes his songs a window into the human experience.

 

Released on January 23, 2025, Out of My Mind marks the first single of the year from Classik, featuring the legendary Awon. Produced and recorded six months prior, the song reflects the struggles of feeling overwhelmed and teetering on the edge of losing control—an emotion that many can relate to in today’s chaotic world.

 

The track’s production is rooted in boom bap, blending smooth, introspective melodies with a hard-hitting rhythm section. Classik’s signature soulful style is present in both the instrumental and lyrical content, providing a backdrop for his vulnerable yet relatable verses. He sets the tone from the start, capturing the angst and uncertainty that comes with mental strain and the desire to break free from it.

 

Awon’s feature brings a calm, reflective presence to the track, creating a perfect contrast to Classik’s more intense delivery. Their chemistry is palpable, as both artists bring their distinct styles together to produce a song that feels both personal and universal. The lyrics speak to those who have ever felt the weight of life’s demands, offering an unflinching look at the inner turmoil many experience but rarely discuss openly.

 

The emotional depth of Out of My Mind is amplified by its production, which maintains a balance of dark, moody atmospherics while leaving space for the lyrical content to shine. This song isn’t just a personal reflection—it’s an anthem for anyone who’s felt overwhelmed by the pressures of life.
