UK grime / metal protagonist Native James has just dropped his fierce new single ‘GTFU’, and it’s another certified BANGER that looks set to down a storm at the the Ipswich-based recording artists upcoming live gigs!
Fusing personal narrative with explosive production, the defiant, crowd-igniting track serves as another powerful assertion from James, as he unequivocally commands listeners attention with his fiery delivery of the songs pointed lyrics.
Commenting on the genesis of the high-octane track, the rapper says: “I wanted a high energy track where the crowd can get involved and let themselves go, mixed in with cryptic lyrics about some of my past. I wanted to make a dark subject come to life, and bring energy to the soul whenever you listen to it.”
