Known for fusing multiple styles into a sound that defies traditional hip-hop boundaries, AN STACKS has positioned himself as an original voice rather than a formula-driven act. His ability to engineer, produce and perform his own music has allowed him full creative control — a rarity in an industry often segmented by roles.
That approach paid off with the success of his standout record “5 STAR,” which charted at No. 25 on the Apple Music/iTunes charts. The song appears on his latest album, Déjà Vu, and has become a defining moment in his growing catalog.
Earning Recognition Through Results
Breaking through the hip-hop space did not come without resistance. AN STACKS says earning respect was initially difficult because he did not fit the industry’s “cookie-cutter” mold. However, recent accomplishments — including chart placement and a steadily growing audience — have shifted perceptions.
With each release, his work has become harder to overlook, earning recognition for both his musical versatility and technical expertise behind the boards.
Spotlight on
Déjà Vu
The current focus of this press run is Déjà Vu, an album that showcases AN STACKS’ range as both an artist and engineer. The project is available now and features contributions from R&B artist Todd Zack Jr. and longtime collaborator stodietheplug, a childhood friend whose presence adds personal depth to the release.
At the center of the album is “5 STAR,” a track that continues to gain traction while highlighting the sonic identity AN STACKS is building — polished, experimental and self-directed.
Looking ahead, AN STACKS says the sky is the limit, both as a solo artist and as an audio engineer. With ownership of his studio, a charting record and a clear creative vision, he is positioning himself for continued growth across multiple lanes of the music industry.
