LIST PICK
JOHAN LENOX RECKLESS FEAT. KEY! AND YOUNG NUDY
Johan Lenox’s first track since the release of his impressive Cancel The Party EP sees the gifted producer connect with KEY! and Young Nudy for ‘Reckless’. Lenox covers the catchy chorus, while Key!’s verse demonstrates his rigid rhythmic delivery and Young Nudy shows off the persistent speed of his flow. Lenox cites the orchestral grandeur of Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as one of his major influences, explaining that the way “Kanye managed to weave numerous, seemingly incompatible featured artists into his production palette. Similarly, I don't think most people would think to pair my Phrygian-mode violin fanfare with Key!'s delirious wailing or Young Nudy's manic sputtering”. Lenox’s long list of impressive collaboration grows alongside his wide-ranging discography, so be sure to stay on top of his movements in 2020. - Dan Peeke
