London rapper Jadasea is making moves. Just last week, he shared Aqrxvst Is The Band’s Name, the three-track collaborative debut EP from his new trio with King Krule and Pretty V. Now, he’s revealed a new album called The Corner Vol. 1, a collaboration with Jay Critch’s go-to producer, Laron. It’s due out February 8 on 10k, the label operated by fellow underground rap king MIKE.
“Middle of It,” the album’s lead single, builds on the momentum of Jadasea’s 2022 album time will tell. There, he cherished breezy vibes in all different colors, whether they came on the back of some chipmunked ’90s R&B, a dusty and staggered beach funk sample, or a glowing jazz cut. For the new song, he pours his heart out over a slicked-back beat, glossy with pitched-up vocals and twinkling keys. It’s a multifaceted bop perfect for slow dancing, brooding, or simply turning off your mind.
