Vancouver electronic producer Ekali, just dropped off a new single “Babylon” featuring rising Florida star Denzel Curry. Denzel’s worked with electronic producers in the past and once again his style meshes with a more synth based sound seamlessly. Ekali described his intent for the track in the info on SoundCloud stating, “My objective with Babylon was to create a world where Rap and Electronic coexisted without tipping the scales too far in either direction. I was hyped on the idea of producing an entire song AROUND Denzel’s story instead of having him tell his story around my beat, so I ended up producing 99% of the song after Zel had already recorded his parts. It’s an approach to rap music that I’d never seen done before, so I wanted to know what that sounded like. Working in the room with Denzel was fast… he’s a real rapper. Most of the time we spent kicking it just playing shit back and forth. He wrote and recorded his parts for Babylon in minutes.” Check the new unlikely collaboration below.
