NxxxxxS: The new Freddie Dredd-featured 'SLUMP' is all types of animated must-see
Who needs ‘South Park’ when NxxxxxS is coming correct with videos like his animated ‘SLUMP,’ right? It’s all types of audio greatness met with fun animation from start to finish.
It’s more than just new music videos for NxxxxxS these days. Peep the details and keep scrolling to see Nx in his music bag.
Paris-based artist-producer NxxxxxS (pronounced "N-Five X-S”) teams up with Canadian rapper Freddie Dredd for his new single “Slump”, alongside the announcement of his new album Short Term Agreement via Because Music/Mad Decent. It follows the Phonk-infused outing “HEAD! SHOT!”, a genre that NxxxxxS has helped spearhead into the masses (his tracks have been streamed over 70 million times across all DSPs), and his gritty ode to UK drill, “Grub”, featuring London’s Jeshi.
“Slump” finds influence from the home of samba, Brazil, and further flaunts NxxxxxS’ ability as a shapeshifting producer. The exotic jaunt mixed with his trademark dungeon hip-hop beats is the perfect backdrop for Canadian rap icon and frequent collaborator Freddie Dredd’s sharp tongue and giddy frenzied flow.
Speaking on the collaboration, NxxxxxS shares, “I met Freddie in LA back in 2019, since then he sometimes sends me a bunch of acapellas to work with. I really wanted to make something in the vibe of his song Cha-Cha. I found this old school Bossa Nova type sample, mixed it together, and became obsessed with the result.”
Short Term Agreement serves as the foundation for NxxxxxS' new identity, featuring a rich and diverse array of sounds thanks to the collaborations that include London rapper Jeshi - a new British rap phenomenon also freshly signed to Because Music, French rappers 8ruki & Bitsu, Canadian Freddie Dredd and American underground talents Pollari and Baby.com. Avoiding the pitfalls of a compilation-like producer album, NxxxxxS has once again carved out his own style from the modern hip hop rule book. In other words, NxxxxxS’ constant evolution has brought us this much closer to solving the mystery that is his name.
