Dark and mysterious from the off, Phantom Phunk takes on a whole new meaning to the genre of hip-hop. This group hailing from Florida depicts a fine notion of taking one style of music and completely turning it on it’s head. The five-piece have grown a quickly expanding fanbase with their unusual and flowing style, and now release their new single ‘Yayo’.
Packed full of movie-like gunshot samples as well as crowd laughter, the track then explodes into a dark and somewhat sinister synth line, where the phantom Phunk then come into their own with a combination of MC, rap and then the chorus brings another member to showcase their vocals. It’s different to anything you’ll hear this month, and the more you listen, the more you understand this band’s direction and what they’re trying to achieve. It’s way outside the box, and we love it.
