Sainté Gets Stylishly 'Arrogant' on New Single

Leicester rebel Sainté has drifted his way back onto our playlists with stunning new single Arrogant. Named one of the UK’s brightest young rappers by i-D and being universally known as a rap crooner for his authentic finesse, Arrogant follows up previous single East to show the UK that the young & stylish rule the scene. Considering Sainté’s packed but exhilarating schedule over the past few months, such as touring with Denzel Curry, getting the crowd lit at the now legendary Kenny Beats’ London show, and selling out his own headline dates, Arrogant is a truly fitting name for the single.

The song comes with another fashionable video, this time just as picturesque and cinematic as East, but with its own special steeze. Directed by Arran Ashan, the visuals, filmed in Italy’s Lake Como, are soaked in blue-green tones reminiscent of 1970s Italian movies. The colours accent the style of Sainté and his compadres, dressed all dapper in suits and silk printed shirts, smoking cigars and drinking the most luxurious of wines. The song continues with Sainté’s chill rap niche, music tailored for relaxing & bopping your head to. The toned down beat coupled with his lax cadence makes for another striking addition to his impressive discography.

22-year-old Sainté’s enviable work-rate has seen him swiftly fly up into the upper echelons of the UK alternative rap league. His signature 2020 single Champagne Shots is proof; its unmissable presence on social media saw the former semi-pro basketball player see his name buzzing around the UK youth, giving him a place alongside other star-studded alt-rap cohorts such as Knucks and A2. Being featured in campaigns for Billionaire Boys Club, Louis Vuitton and Flannels, Sainté’s already in the process of putting Leicester on the music map.
