by UK producer Hucci is the definition of an OG in the electronic trap scene. From the iconic ‘Ball So Hard‘ with Stooki Sound, to solo releases like ‘Hitta’ and ‘The Fall,’ the producer has cemented his status as one of the genre’s greats. Over the years trap has seen a wide range of variations, often leaning into more chaotic and intense sounds, rather than riding the waves, Hucci continues to charter his own course. Leaning into the signature that fans have come to love; a mystifying mixture of moody vibe-laden sound palettes, booming bass, and perfected percussion.
Last year saw Hucci return with a vengeance on the heavy-hitting TroyBoi collaboration ‘Interstellar.‘ The track arrived as part of TroyBoi’s Say Less EP which features a stack of exceptional collaborations with fellow trap royalty. Hot off the release of ‘Cleopatra’ last month comes his latest single ‘Street League,’ a hazy heater that is assured to please longtime fans.
Blurring the boundaries between laid-back and banging, ‘Street League’ occupies that special space that Hucci loves to live within. Stormy samples and distorted riffs set the stage for a cinematic opening with an understated score drifting below snappy drum programming. Swagged-out rap vocals welcome listeners to a hazed-out drop that’s engulfed in kush clouds. Booming 808s and precision percussion cut through the smoke balancing an undeniable bump that contrasts the vibey aesthetic. The description chill banger may seem counterintuitive, but one listen to ‘Street League’ and you’ll be thirsting for more.
