OSQUELLO BALAMII (LIVE)

20 year old Leeds rapper Osquello currently resides in London and has collaborated with the likes of Clairo, Declan McKenna and Brockhampton. His sound melts ambient electronics with jazz tinged hip hop. As a little taster of his upcoming EP, Osquello drops two unreleased tracks side by side, complemented with a performance video on Balamii. The first track 'Lover's Fool' is a dubby delight. Will Chapman features heavily on the track with artfully played yawning saxophones that could send you into peaceful slumber. Dub bass resides deep within the heart of track, whilst drums are lazy and minimal. 'Feels Right' uses a fuller production style, as well as displaying Osquello's more wordy rapping which touches on feelings of anxiety. The chorus vocal line is padded out with breathy backing voices, singing the moreish hook "I don't wana fight, we do what feels right". Watch Osquello perform 2 currently unreleased tracks ‘Lovers Fool’ and ‘Feels Right’ right here... -Ellie Rose-Davies
