This Unknown Woman From London Made One Of The Best Dancehall Songs Of The Year
Shout out Lil Keish.
There should be a word for the combined feeling of gratitude and self-satisfaction that comes from finding an unexpected gem via SoundCloud's autoplay algorithm. There's almost certainly no other way I would've come across Lil Keish's "Fuck," a vigorous, sex-positive track from earlier this year that deserves a space in every dancehall set. A classic rhythm, buzzy synth, and artfully deployed violin sample set the base for Keish's demand, delivered with no long-talking: Come fuck me now. A little digging reveals that the artist, who alternately goes by Likkle Keish, is a Londoner with a handful excellent tunes strewn online.
Hit play below. And then listen to the clean version, hilariously titled "Cum Fuck Me," on SoundCloud and to Keish's Different Shades EP on Apple Music.
