slowthai drops video for ‘Doorman’
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.
