Northampton rapper Slowthai is assuredly building a cult following with his eccentric form or “punk rap”. Following a lively link-up with popular alternative producer Mura Masa, Slowthai finally unveils the chaotic video for hs latest single “Doorman“.
A wild visual to match his wild persona, his latest takes inspiration from Danny Boyle‘s 1996 classic Trainspotting as director The Rest depicts slowthai and his crew on a wild night, embodying total punk vibes. Slowthai has clearly had a bit too much as be becomes a problem, so much so that he ends up being jumped on by some bouncers. Not before he has a Narnia moment in the restrooms.
Speaking about the track, slowthai said: “I was at some yard in Chelsea after a night out and I saw 4.5 million pound paintings hanging on the wall and it made me sick… I went to the studio the next day and wrote Doorman. Doorman, let me in the door.”
With a an eagerly awaited album hopefully on the way soon as well as a number of tour dates across the UK already announced, make sure you’re paying close attention to this talented and fast-rising star.
#Peace.Love.Slowthai
