Tasman Kieth is talking his ish on this new rap, amplifying his boastful confidence through witty passages of lyricism, and a cadence that’s simultaneously smooth and raspy.

Keep an eye out for more from this budding prospect. 

Shenseea creates a party-ready anthem in the form of ‘Lick’, ready to dominate dancefloors worldwide. Produced by Murda Beatz, the instrumental is minimalist in layers but heavy in bass,
providing plenty of space for Shenseea to flex her loud and roof-raising vocals. Megan Thee Stallion pops up on the second verse, raising the track’s stock with some stern, braggadocious bars.

Stefflon Don flexes melodic chops on ‘Juice’, serving as a pleasant squeeze of pop sensibilities.
