Slowthai's 'I Wish I Knew' Lives Up To Its Teeth-Kicking Promises

Slowthai's 'I Wish I Knew' Lives Up To Its Teeth-Kicking Promises


November 03, 2017

After the red-lit madness of his "Round & Round" video last week, rising rapper slowthai's I Wish I Knew is finally out. If you thought the video in question was high energy then the rest of the EP will knock you off your feet. It pretty much stays on that level from start to finish, but EP centrepiece "IDGAF" deserves special mention for the excessively distorted punk guitars behind slowthai's screamed bars. 

Even the slightly less in-your-face "Polar Bear" comes heaven-sent for only the most brutal and unforgiving mosh-pits. As ever, handle with care. Catch slowthai's high-octane live show when he hits the London venue, St Pancras Old Church, on November 24. Grab I Wish I Knew via Bone Soda ノノ, or stream it below via Spotify.
