Dean Blunt's been making some noise recently. The U.K.-based artist made some noise earlier this year when he collaborated with A$AP Rocky on Testing. Since then, he's released a free project titled, Muggy Vol. 1 in August. Now, he comes through with a follow-up titled, Soul On Fire.
Dean Blunt is back with his latest project, Soul On Fire. The project is his second free release of the year. Muggy Vol. 1 was also released as a free download. The project features appearances from A$AP Rocky, Mica Levi, Lady T, Jockstrap and Poison Anna. Blunt previously worked with A$AP Rocky and Mica Levi in the past. Blunt had production credits on "Purity" featuring Frank Ocean and Lauryn Hill. Levi and Blunt worked together in 2017 for their opera, "Inna."
