Dance-Floor Energy Meets Sharp Rhymes on Channel Tres’ Newest Effort

Released August 14, 2026

I won’t lie, Channel Tres is brand new to me, but he’s got around 2.3 million monthly listeners. So obviously, I’m the one way behind, and that’s okay. I’m just glad to be tuned in now because this album, Enigma POV, and Channel Tres’ style are both not what I was expecting to get into. But it was a pleasant surprise.

Channel Tres raps, but he does it over production that’s very techno and dance-based—a blend I love when done well, and Channel Tres does it VERY well. Now, this won’t be for everyone, and even for myself it’s somewhat mood music, but it’s not that hard to get me in the mood for this, admittedly. The fast pace and high BPMs keep me locked in, and Channel Tres is a dope rapper and singer on top of it all. The first half of the album is just a splash stronger to me, with songs like “Enigma POV,” “Medicine,” “Pop Pop,” “Rhythm King,” “Black Techno Guy,” and even “Creatine” standing out as my favorites.

There are a few tracks near the end that I don’t love quite as much as the rest, though they aren’t bad or songs I’d skip. “Is This A Dream,” “Go Get It,” and “Ghost Protocol” just didn’t quite hit the highs of the rest of the album for me. The production here is handled by a multitude of producers, with Channel Tres having a hand in almost every track as well. “Curious” is produced by Pharrell, and “Mood Right” features Thundercat, adding some big names into the mix on Enigma POV.

This was the first time I heard Channel Tres, but it certainly won’t be my last! This album had me moving and grooving just like it was made to. Channel Tres is really dope, and it’s time for me to start catching up! If you like dance music, great rhymes, and solid vocals, this is an album to check out.
