Dean Blunt Drafts Novelist, Skepta & A$AP Rocky For Brooding "London Tonight Freestyle"


November 28, 2022

The mysterious Dean Blunt continues his free-form experiments with the latest "London Tonight Freestyle", rounding up Skepta, Novelist and A$AP Rocky for a few verses.

Pushing through the sedate haze of synths and crisp kicks and snares, Skepta strides over the beat with a slight echo in his mic, placing him on a faraway planet. Novelist follows suit, confidently laying hard-hitting rhymes before he disappears behind Rocky's woozy melodies.

Playing to his mysterious persona, Blunt initially leaked the track back in summer but soon deleted it from the soundwaves before we could properly get acquainted with it. He also worked on a couple tracks on Rocky's third album Testing, which also featured Skepta as well as FKA Twigs, Frank Ocean, and Kid Kudi, to name just a few.

Living up to Blunt's reputation for threading a multitude of styles into his various projects and aliases, you can take this new collab for a spin below.
