slowthai performing at Leeds Festival 2021 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
slowthai featured on the Denzel Curry track ‘Zatoichi’ earlier this year.
slowthai is back with a new single entitled ‘i know nothing‘ which is leading a campaign from Beats By Dre aimed at highlighting social media pressures on today’s football stars.
“Social media can and should be used as a tool for connection and good but instead it serves to gloat and punch down,” slowthai said. “It fails to show the harsh reality we live in, which can lead to isolation and depression. Let’s lift each other up.”
Tyron Frampton aka released his second full length TYRON last year, summed up by Live4ever as, ‘messy and sweet one moment, angry or mischievous the next’:
“We’re told that this is a lockdown record, even given the upfront and highly personal nature of the contents. It’s been a period in which most of us have failed to live our lives in any meaningful way, and on ‘nhs’ the guilt of taking everything for granted spills over into heartfelt words dedicated to those who pick up our pieces without judgement.”
