If a slick new tune, brimming with sun-soaked rhythms and slowly winding bars is what you are after, then Ess West’s “Ouch” is the new release for you. Promising to provide a sonic taste of summer, the rapper on the rise effortlessly hops between flows and musical sensibilities here as the sweet sounds of R&B melt into romance-laden lyricism, blurring the lines of genres in the process.

With a sound that is sure to captivate filling out the tune, all that is left is to drop an accompanying music video, naturally. With cash floating from the sky and vivid imagery of blood, roses and a beaten-up West serenading viewers all filling the screen, the project is complete – with an enchanting ease, we might add.

One for your summer playlists and a tune sure to warrant your attention, “Ouch” makes it clear that Ess West is one to watch this year.
