Credit Crowns & Owls“A deeply moving, melancholic – but never self-pitying – record about shame, defiance, childhood, adulthood, mistakes and, ultimately, forgiving yourself. On ‘TYRON’, slowthai roars.” ***** NME “Slowthai is the British equivalent of Eminem: a preternaturally talented rapper who acts tough but is too much of an open book to cover his flaws and insecurities.” **** The Times “After a debut that declared war on politics, Slowthai became Britain’s most disruptive lyricist. Now, his kaleidoscopic musical roots have a fresh thesis to feed on… and things are about to get loud” GQ
On Friday, slowthai released his second album ‘TYRON’ to widespread, global critical acclaim. Today he shares a video for album track ‘VEX’ – a follow on from the latest ‘CANCELLED’ featuring Skepta.
In this continuation on the horror movie theme, ‘VEX’ finds slowthai serving up questionable “beef” burgers in the Troglodyte Bites Diner. Presumably the same meat out the back of the Troglodyte van at the end of the CANCELLED video as the staff and customers at the diner run wild in a maniacal manner; yet another twisted masterpiece from THE REST.
