Rounding out this selection is dom champ’s new single, a peppy pop rap banger. The Brighton based rapper and recording artist delivers again with this track, a soulful alt pop track with a throwback instrumental. The production features an orchestral sample that brings you right back to the 2000s and lackadaisical yet compelling vocals that recall the sound of artists like slowthai and Rex Orange County. The production blends the old school soul sound of artists like Chance the Rapper and Common with the more modern alternative hip hop of artists like Brockhampton for a sound that feels fresh.
