slowthai teams up with Mura Masa for ‘Doorman’

About to support Slaves at their massive Ally Pally date this weekend, Northampton newcomer slowthai has shared a new track - produced by Mura Masa.

“I was at some yard in Chelsea after a night out,” the rapper explains, “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.”

Mura Masa adds: “Slowthai is the embodiment of subversive and punk energy in UK rap. We knew we wanted to make something with a DIY, rebellious energy together, so we banged Doorman together in a few hours, kept all the original takes and let it be what it is. It’s a record that challenges ideas about what rap can be, which I think the scene needs more of. I love it.”

The song follows previous single ‘Rainbow’, and recent EP ‘RUNT’, and comes ahead of his ‘Brexit Bandit’ tour, kicking off next March.
