Spoken word rapper NATTY BOI ZOE circles back into the spotlight with his latest release, ‘Perspective’ — a raw, introspective track that hits with both heart and heat. Teaming up once again with Owl Life labelmate and long-time collaborator Dice Cannon, the duo delivers powerful bars that explore their search for identity, belonging, and the healing refuge they find in music.
Their chemistry is undeniable, their message is clear: sometimes, all it takes is a shift in perspective to see your place in the world.
‘Perspective’ is now available on all major streaming platforms — Why not give it a spin and hear the story for yourself?
After sporadic collaborations on projects like ‘Fireside Chats 2’, NY-based lyricist RAPSWELL and Chicago producer JASON GRIFF have finally come together for a five-song EP full of high-energy, rebellious tracks aimed at both having fun and screaming “fuck the system” at the same time.
‘Drop the Addy’ is the second single for the EP and it’s a short burst of concentrated frustration and adrenaline directed towards the current state of America as Rapswell proclaims: “Fuck Elon and Donald son, it’s no time for subliminals, we don’t need a king, they gotta go- it’s that simple.” Griff’s production combines a fluttering flute loop with bouncy drums and thunderous bass, creating a soundscape for Rapswell to proclaim “Fuck the felon plus the punk, he’s just another giant cuck, I’m at the drive-in setting fire to some Cybertrucks.”
‘Drop the Addy’, along with their first single ‘Sissy Spacek’ feat. Jesse the Tree, is out now on all streaming platforms. The full EP ‘Heart of Gold’ will be released on 14th July.
