slowthai shares ‘MAGIC’, a new song produced by Kenny Beats

The rapper’s new single follows the recently-released ‘ENEMY’, a track that references his behaviour at this year’s NME Awards

Northampton rapper slowthai has shared a new song titled “MAGIC”, with production from Kenny Beats, who teased it in a Twitch stream last month. 

slowthai also took to Twitch – with a cameo appearance from Kenny – to share the track for the first time May 13, before it was uploaded to YouTube and other platforms. The rapper has suggested that he will be appearing on the live streaming platform more in the future.

The track itself comes just days after slowthai’s first release since his 2019 album, Nothing Great About Britain. As suggested by the title, “ENEMY”, the song references his behaviour at the NME Awards in February, which led to his removal from the event.

In February Kenny Beats also dropped a surprise album with Denzel Curry, titled UNLOCKED and recorded over a brief three-day studio session. Revisit the producer-of-the-moment’s guide to producing the perfect rap freestyle here.
