slowthai drops video for ‘Doorman’
One of UK's most electrifying new voices, slowthai kicks off the new year with an awesome video for his latest single Doorman, produced by Mura Masa.
The video is a dark, trippy and recklessly gripping visual that pays tribute to iconic British filmmaker Danny Boyle’s ‘Trainspotting’. The video invites the viewer to join slowthai on a night out, but everything is befittingly twisted and distorted making it a perfectly fitting accompaniment to the captivating song. Watch it below!
Speaking on the track, slowthai said:
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.
Mura Masa added:
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.
