Reminder: new UK rap from Natty Wylah – ‘WHOAMI’
The track is buoyed by production that rattles speakers, clicking hi-hats echoing through the track with Wylah pointedly declaring “f*ck off with your labels” right from the off. ‘WHOAMI’ flicks between firing off his own clapbacks to those who question him, and the doubt this causes within himself. It’s a mesmeric ride that sinks under the skin and one that strikes a chord in our current times of turmoil and divide.
With a triumphant show at Brixton’s legendary Windmill under his belt – see the above clip – ‘WHOAMI’ is just the beginning. “The next time ignorance asks me where I’m from/I’m from the moon” – watch out for Natty Wylah excusing himself while he kisses the sky.
