If there's one thing you notice about 645AR's flow, it's the high-pitched squeak he raps in. Somehow it works, and there's no better example than the rapper's latest release "Sum Bout U." With a feature from FKA twigs, the video finds the pair in a match-up that's become even more familiar since our months in lockdown: digital performer and voyeur. Logging onto a website called "OnlyCamzzz," 645AR heads straight for twigs' stream, finding her in a variety of colorful fits and backdrops.

Along with the video's release, FKA twigs shared a sex work mutual support-fundraiser to provide direct financial support to sex workers and donated £10,000 to the cause. Alongside Lysistrata, SWARM, and East London Strippers Collective, it's also aimed at “challenging public attitudes, tackling stigma, and fighting for [their] rights and protections.”

"I feel like now is the time for me to step forward, pay respect, and shine a light on the challenges facing sex workers, especially during these uncertain times," the singer said, citing her own experience working as a hostess in a gentlemen's club.

i was 19 when i learnt my first pole move, i learnt a back hook spin from a stripper when i was working as a hostess in a gentleman’s club. for those of you who don’t know, hostessing is when one person pays another person for their time, anything from a conversation over dinner to sex work, and the club gets a cut of the fee. my lived experience as a very young woman in these environments has not only informed the strong and formidable woman that i am today, but also a lot of my work as a music and visual artist - sometimes even subconsciously. i feel like now is the time for me to step forward, pay respect, and shine a light on the challenges facing sex workers, especially during these uncertain times. sex workers I know and have met have discipline, craft, talent and work ethic - not only do they deserve better long-term, but their income has been wiped out by the lockdown and many are invisible to the financial aid available to others. there’s a bigger journey in challenging public attitudes, tackling stigma, and fighting for rights and protections - but today I’m inviting you to join me in helping with cash donations to SWARM, Lysistrata and ELSC. these organisations are providing direct financial support to strippers and sex workers, we’ve kicked off the the fund with £10,000 and you can donate at https://www.gofundme.com/f/sexworkermutualaidfunds this week, SWARM @swarmhive Lysistrata @lysistratamccf and ELSC @ethicalstripper will also be taking over my social media channels.
