simon a. - Black Airforce Activity (Single)
Diffusing genre boundaries from his bedroom in East London, simon a. continues to do just that as he releases his single “Black Airforce Activity”.
Citing Brent Faiyaz and Frank Ocean as sonic inspirations, simon a. incorporates their effortless flow into “Black Airforce Activity”, however, unlike previous releases simon a. turns his hand to rap with equal effortlessness, demonstrating the unquestionable versatility in this multi-faceted artist.
Speaking on the track, simon a. explains; “‘Black Airforce Activity’ is a song about originality in art, and the question of if it's possible to create something without taking or "stealing" from somewhere else. And so the song itself contains many references to other songs in the lyrics, flows, and structure, while exploring whether the narrator even belongs in a rap song in the first place.”
