Skaiwater’s ‘femme fatale’ is adding to a growing run of underground rap earning serious recognition from Pitchfork 👀
In recent years, projects like slayr’s ‘BloodLuxe,’ OsamaSon’s ‘psykotic’ and Nettspend’s ‘BAD ASS F*CKING KID’ have all been reviewed by the publication, as a new generation of internet-born rap continues to push further into the critical mainstream👇
For Skaiwater, the recognition comes after years of constantly reshaping their sound. Pitchfork praised ‘femme fatale’ for finding a stronger balance between the distorted rage textures they came up on and the Caribbean, Afrobeats and club influences they’ve increasingly explored, calling the project a more focused step forward from ‘wonderful.’ With the underground continuing to evolve past one defining sound, Skaiwater is becoming one of the artists helping stretch its boundaries 👀
