New: Mykki Blanco - Moshing In The Front feat. Cities Aviv

“My new shit gonna make the Internet shit themselves…my new shit is very live, noise pedals and shit”… provocative underground rapper Mykki Blanco said this on his Twitter a few months ago in reference to Gay Dog Food: Fem Slick, his new mixtape coming out on UNO NYC Recordings on Oct 28 (a precursor to Mykki Blanco’s debut album Michael, which is due around March/April next year).  The first taste we heard of Gay Dog Food - which is set to feature drill rapper Katie Got Bandz and sexy R&B singer Ian Isiah - was back in September, via New Feelings, a loose spoken-word rambler loaded with outer space sounds and P-funk synths that left, erm, a bit to be desired. But we just listened to the next offering from the tape - Moshing In the Front - which was released this morning, and our cosmic angel has totally come through on that Tweet.

The track features a fair bit of noise distortion, with Mykki’s voice alarmingly low and gnarly throughout, creating a very menacing feel, before an urgent but catchy chorus: “I’m moshin in the front, moshin in the front, yeah I smell the weed somebody pass me the blunt.” The track features a verse from Cities Aviv, a Memphis cloud-rapper who recently toured with Death Grips and is known for his hazy, crazy barking bars.   

In a statement released with the track, Mykki lets everyone know he doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him anymore: “You can choose to call me a gay rapper, you can choose to not even call me a rapper if you want to, it doesn't matter, I’m a punk, a creative punk and I’m going to continue to create and entertain without boundaries.”

So I guess if you don’t like it, in the lyrics of Mykki in the track itself: “Fuck your judgement.”  (Luckily, we really like it).
