Kamikaze

Jefe Gold brings the ‘summertime rap’ with “Kamikaze”

Yeah, ok – there’s an obvious Marshall Mathers-shaped elephant in the room when Jefe Gold’s vocal first starts up, a fine, soft-rolling lyrical rap reminiscent of the best of Eminem or maybe, at times, Machine Gun Kelly, but when the “You can tell everybody mama, I’m a kamikaze” hook drops that just doesn’t matter; it’s got more than enough weight to carry itself, all BY itself.

The track’s soft, a vaguely Japanese melodic line playing round behind Gold’s rapping until that big, big chorus – this is quality summertime radio-friendly rap that wouldn’t sound out of place nestled between any number of Gold’s more well-established peers.

You can check out the track on Spotify, and Jefe Gold’s Facebook page is here.

Bath Rockers Baby Shoes rip up the dance floor with ”Kamikaze”

Everyone That Could've Been by BabyShoes

Ah yes, this is the kind of rocking music we all need in our ears. I love it when bands aren’t conventional and really change it up. Bath’s Baby Shoes have just released their latest single so let’s turn this up loud and jump around in our lounges, waving at the neighbors at the same time. Who’s in?

Kamikaze” takes a little while to warm up and they tease the audience at the beginning. I imagine the drummer doing some stretches and getting himself in the zone first. You must always wait for the drummer right? This powerful single soon warms up, distortion over for now and it steps into 5th gear and smashes through the vulnerable speakers.

Taken off ”Everyone That Could’ve Been”, which is set for release on the 1st of June, this is an awesome single full of dripping sweat and head nodding, that is bound to cause a few unsuspecting neck injuries.

Bath’s Baby Shoes have released a passionate song here and ”Kamikaze” is all about just going for it, what do you have to lose anyway. The world is messed up, let’s just enjoy life and dance until we smell like an old man’s toes.

Stream more on the bands Bandcamp channel and rock your socks off to this excellent UK band.
