Octavian is one of the most exciting artists out of the U.K. right now. Following the release of SPACEMAN last year, he received a ton of critical acclaim and attention in North America. Over the past few weeks, he's been unveiling new singles. He collaborated with Diplo on "New Shape" and prior to that, he linked up with Take A Day Trip for "Stressed." Now, he heads back to the U.K. for his latest single, "Bet."
Octavian is back with his new single and video for "Bet." The song features Skepta and Michael Phantom. The track was produced by Payday and Keanu Torres who deliver a bouncy, warped instrumental with an undoubtedly catchy hook. A version of the song without Skepta's vocals surfaced last year but now, they've dropped the official single.
Peep the track below and keep your eyes peeled for more music from all three artists.
Quotable Lyrics
I just asked your girl please
Get on your knees
Grab the tip and squeeze
Please don't use your teeth
It really hurts
When I have to leave
Had to catch a flight
Man I get money overseas
