Skaiwater, the Nottingham rapper and producer behind the album #Gigi, is back with a new song. Skaiwater produced their new song, “Pop,” with Elkan and Anca Trio Plus One. Listen to the single below.
Writing about #Gigi, last year, Serge Selenou said the album “mashes together some of the decade’s most prevalent sounds into a crispy mix that plays like an amalgamation of SoundCloud likes.” He continued, “Beats venture all across the African diaspora; Skaiwater makes excursions to chaotic Brazilian funk, Jamaican dancehall grooves, and the jittery litefeet that turns up NYC parks. Distorted bass and random EQ hijinks will terrorize your speaker. Vocal pitches fluctuate all over the place.”
