Wicked

British-Ghanian producer Juls recruits alt rap heavyweights Sam Wise, Knucks and Kadiata for vibrant single ‘Wicked’. 

Juls has had an impressive rise to acclaim, working with household names such as Tyler, The Creator, Lauren Hill and Burna Boy. This new one is the first single from the in demand engineer’s upcoming debut body of work, which is set for release later in the year. 

The summery, glamorous cut is an ode to the current afrobeat wave sweeping the UK mainstream, as well as the underground rap scene that names like Wise, Kadiata and Knucks have been championing for years. All three spitters bring their individualistic approach to the vivacious number, each impressing with effervescent delivery oozing in confidence and finesse. The rich synth chords, breezy horns and energetic drums are the perfect foundation for the rappers laidback and charismatic performances. 

The accompanying video, directed by Ray Fiasco who has previously collaborated with Backroad Gee, Aitch and M Huncho, is a vibrant, kaleidoscopic celebration that marries well with the colourful track. 

Good vibes all round, don’t miss out on this new summer anthem!
