LIST PICK

WIKI (FT. DENZEL CURRY & LIL UGLY MANE) GRIM

NYC-based, slurry rapper Wiki has just released his debut album called OOFIE. In preparation for the drop, he has shared a string of excellent singles including 'Fee Fi Fo Fum', 'Smarty Jones', and 'Pesto'. On the track ‘Grim’, Wiki teams up with Denzel Curry and Lil Ugly Mane who was once part of a punk-rap group called Secret Circle with Wiki. The three touch on depression, anxiety and money worries against the ominous, gloomy production. Lil Mane spits the sorrowful line "Watch me float around my city, gettin’ wild / With a stomach full of bile, as I suffer with a smile". Curry's intensely powerful rap touches on his mental health in the line to "take away all my emotions, my system is nervous, you only think deep when a f*****' shrink speaks." Exploring his own demise, Wiki speaks in his distinct slurred tone of the grim reaper, and warns death has no mercy.-Ellie Rose-Davies
