This is the best song and video I’ve heard/seen in awhile—a softer take on the “o, you don’t know my cru?” song, via social media lyrics, but also addressing the grime bandwagoners and general wackness of trendhopping. Also, Iron Man costume. Came out in February so #latepass tho I swear I’m not a grime bandwagoner! #downsince02ish
Today I was playing this song on my radio show when a tall white gentleman around the age of 45 and drinking a Four Loko (no brown bag, in full view of everyone, on 1st and 1st in Manhattan), leaned in and asked me if I was playing “devil music.” Good night!
THREE CUTS is RA’s new video series having artists walk through their careers via three tracks. The debut is with one of my favorite producers ever, Scratcha DVA—he chats up his LIFE CLASSIC “The End” (Machinedrum was like WTHell Scratcha & Scratcha was like “That tune’s nearly 10 years old bruv”), soul/broke/garage “Just Vybe,” and a forthcoming remix that sounds like the end of days. Also, is wearing ill Cazals.
