SLOWTHAI PSYCHO

Denzel Curry and Slowthai collaborate on the new nightmarish single ‘Psycho’. Slowthai is setting the bar high for UK hip-hop - with his unique Northampton style, socially conscious rhymes and pivotal take on what it means to be anti-establishment; offering affordable tickets and replacing self promotion with political statements on billboards. Miami native Denzel Curry is established in his own right. He has featured on 'Black Balloons Reprise', a track from Flying Lotus’ latest album. Their new single 'Psycho' opens with frighteningly frantic string parts, a clicky trap beat and a chunkily bouncy bass. The vocals have been roared so close to the mic that that they’re distorted. Slowthai slurs his words and raps in a frenzied state, juxtaposing with Denzel’s more concisely rhythmic style in the chorus. The rage in their vocals is irresistible in this new hysterically dark collaboration. -Ellie Rose Davies
