Listen to Fucksnowrr’s “Nike”: New Rap Music Today

The self-produced beats on Fucksnowrr’s mixtape #fuckdasouf are so wildly abrasive. I can’t get enough of them. Drum patterns feel more like explosions, crashing and thrashing like in a Gundam fight scene. “Nike” is one of the most subdued songs of the bunch, and, still, there’s a blaring siren effect and stuttering percussion that sounds like daggers hitting a wall. If you were to just hear the instrumental, it would be hard to imagine anyone rapping over it, but Fucksnowrr has got it down. It’s as if he’s seeing red while trying not to raise his voice, hostile even when he’s just pointing out that his girl “like the Arc’teryx.”

With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
