Northampton's slowthai has been buzzing for a minute. Over the past year, he's become one of the most exciting new rappers to come out of the U.K. in recent times. Last month, the rapper delivered his second EP, RUNT which was well-received among his fans and critics. Clearly, the release of the EP isn't slowing him down from giving his fans more of what they want. Today, he blesses the internet with his latest song, "Rainbow."
"can’t have a rainbow without a little rain," slowthai tweeted back in April. The rapper's was clearly teasing his latest banger, "Rainbow." The rapper's latest track comes roughly a month after he released his latest project, RUNT. The song was produced by Jd. Reid and Kwes Darko. It's a dark record that finds slowthai flexing his frantic flow.
Quotable Lyrics
Primitive with your naughty ways
Kamikaze put me in a cage
Brown eyes and my shit ain't blue
Exotic chip is tropical too
