Opening with the line “coulda been fat or ugly, still woulda ‘ad girls loving me” over gloriously cheesy 80s-inspired production, this latest single from Renelle 893 & Guami almost feels like a hip hop Rick Roll. As the Croydon-based rap heavyweight details all manner of gyallis antics, producer Guami cultivates an ironically loved-up sonic environment full of heart-wrenching moans and gated reverb snares. Renelle describes it best here: “smoother than baby’s booty, groovy as 80s tune g”.
‘Fat n Ugly’ is lifted from Renelle 893 and Guami’s latest collaborative project ‘Gardening Tools’, out now on all major streamers.
