slowthai shares chaotic ‘Doorman’ video

Late last year, Northampton rapper slowthai truly put his marker down with brilliant new single ‘Doorman’, produced by Mura Masa.

The song now has a suitably chaotic new video, in which slowthai gets into an altercation with a particularly aggressive bouncer.

Talking about the track, slowthai says: “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.”

“slowthai is the embodiment of subversive and punk energy in UK rap,” Mura Masa - aka Alex Crossan - adds. “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.”
