Blue As The Waters /
As the waters have cleared from the physical look on it as said to be "tainted red", in the spiritual sense, it's now as clear as blue, hope, peace, and only good things are on the way, since struggles, sins, and ignorance are falling apart.

Manuel Alexander Trinidad Lopez (born May 27, 2006), known professionally as Manu St, is a Dominican record producer, songwriter, and recording artist based in Montclair, New Jersey. He is known for a production style described as a "gritty clarity" mix, drawing stylistic elements from classic hip-hop and underground rap.
Rebranding and Sonic Shift (2023-present):
Following a personal re-evaluation and commitment to the Christian faith, Manuel retired his previous pseudonyms and initiated a comprehensive creative rebrand under the stage name Manu St.
With the rebrand, Manuel transitioned away from electronic dance music to focus on classic, lyrical hip-hop production. His current musical output is characterized by a "gritty clarity" sonic profile, utilizing minimalist, hard-hitting drum arrangements and atmospheric samples inspired by artists such as Mobb Deep, Nas, MF DOOM, Kendrick Lamar, and Tyler, The Creator.
As Manu St, he has engaged in collaborative releases and productions with independent artists and producers, including Taliray, Progress, and Imyshaun. His thematic content frequently addresses personal struggle, cultural identity, resilience, familial relationships, and Christian theology.
Early Productions and Aliases (2018-2022):
Lopez began producing music prior to the COVID-19 pandemic under the initial pseudonym D!XDA, focusing primarily on EDM genres. His early production style was influenced by electronic artists such as Martin Garrix, Alan Walker, Marshmello, and Skrillex.
During a subsequent three-year period of experimentation within underground digital communities on platforms such as Discord, Lopez released music under a series of changing monikers, including vntaro, dxxmster, makisu, toethzo, and sk8te. He also utilized secondary and collaborative side accounts under the names izukokidd, kusorai, monkelegawd, kayne east, skawte, and suketo.
During this phase, his production work was influenced by internet-based producers including Bsterthegawd, KidPhlame, Progresstheproducer, and *+Ra.ymon.
Artistry and Influences
Originally rooted in digital synthesis and automated EDM structures, Manu St's production style evolved into sample-based boom-bap and conscious hip-hop. Lyrically, his work documents urban life, spiritual transformation, and personal survival, intentionally avoiding conventional commercial tropes in favor of narrative-driven composition.
