Towards the end of 2020 slowthai upped the dwindling good vibe of a generation by announcing details of his second album TYRON, which will be released on February 5th. The follow up to his widely acclaimed debut ‘Nothing Great About Britain’ launched with the reflective and poignant current single ‘nhs’ – a track that gave a sombre nod to the struggles of a nation in a turbulant year, reminding us all to be thankful for what we have when we have it and not to take anything for granted.
MAZZA featuring A$AP Rocky is here to push things forward. Premiered as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record only moments ago and confirmed as DJ Target’s Targo Embargo tonight, this track is taken from the more acerbic first half of TYRON and is produced by slowthai and SAMO (who also producer ‘T N Biscuits’ and ‘nhs’).
Fearless and fervent its bone-shaking bassline brings slowthai’s distinctive sound back into sharp focus. Friend and US label boss A$AP Rocky enhances the track with his recognizable flow - the inspiring swagger of these two trailblazing rappers back to back is seriously impressive stuff. Video-clip will follow later this week.
