Jack Dawkins - Slap (Official Video)

 

Jack Dawkins is back with an infectious new hip-hop release entitled “SLAP.” The track features an immersive instrumental which consists of hard-hitting drums, grooving bass lines and atmospheric synths. Musically, the track is textually and dynamically diverse which in turns takes the listener on a journey. Dawkins smartly-penned bars cut through the mix and land on top showcasing his lyrical ability.

Elaborating on the process of creating the track he shares: “This is the third track that I have had the pleasure of masterminding with Ugly Fun. We got connected through a marketing program but found out that we had a lot of similarities musically and in how our brains process information. Jeremy is a SUPER innovative producer. He doesn't use typical song structure and instead allows the instrumental to wind and weave across different rhythms and textures while using a strong bassline to keep it feeling cohesive. For me, as a lyricist, it's like having a HUGE playground with all kinds of swings and slides. I connected to the energy of each section, and picked a cadence/lyrical package that felt aligned. There's speed rap, introspection, something super funky etc.. I think we bring out the best in each other. His non-linear approach challenges me to be more creative with my lyrics, and my lyrics challenge him to enhance the song with more ideas and effects. I truly, truly love how this song ended. And on top of that, we got to make an AMAZING video for it.”
