Australia's emerging rap force Phi11a has shared his new single 'Witness'.
The track follows a storming 2019, one that saw the Sydney rapper emerge as one of Australia's most talked about artists.
2020 finds the rapper promising to go global, courtesy of a co-sign from Trippie Redd.
The American artist features on new single 'Witness', a club bumper with a raw energy all of its own.
It's all a long way away from the initial demo, recorded in the barest of DIY circumstances by Phi11a.
He explains: “It’s crazy. When I originally started working on this song, I thought of either Trippie or Young Thug for the feature (if there’d be one). So even from the start I feel like the song had his energy in it.”
Remarkably, it all came together on this murky lo-fi rap cuts. “He understood the spookiness and gloom within the song, but also its explosive potential. His verse is crazy. It’s straight from the playbook of my favourite Trippie era.”
