KASIEN breaks out his highly anticipated ‘DONT LET THE DEVIL IN’. The London-based rapper stands out amongst his peers with his unique style, positioning him as a force bridging genres with his take on rap. Filling his newest project with bona-fide hits, nodding to his fabled ‘DO WHAT I LIKE’, he places boundaries on the back burner more than ever with this one. Treated to the inner psyche of the rapper, we hear tracks like 'DAMAGED', as the artist shares lyrics bourgeoning with absolutes over a myriad of sounds, mixing dub, a little trap and everything in between.
Gaining a cult following from his initial release with his 2018 ‘6FT UNDER’, the rapper stays close to his roots offering lays complimented by the city he was raised. Featuring production from frequent collaborator Kelvin Krash, P2J and Karma Kid, the project is a tight offering and a bracingly generous addition to the artists discography. Setting perfect soundtracks for a quality night-out, the rapper gets pulses buzzing with tracks like ‘MOVIE SHIT’ ft Odunsi, culminating his sharp flow, natural confidence, and idealism. Owning his experiences, the South-London-bred rapper references his upbringing as great influences for his experimental sound, crediting his Nigerian-Jamaican heritage, too many late nights and drug-fueled escapades as highlights for his inspirations, and surely hints to a global reach.
Leaning into the reemerged appreciation for a heavier electric approach, the artist gifts listeners an authentic take and a dynamic project full of complex themes wrapped in an effortless 23 minutes.
