Towkio

"Involved" (ft. Vic Mensa, prod. by Kaytranada)

If you haven't quite caught wind of it yet, the Chicago connection of Towkio and Vic Mensa are offering a few stylish rhymes together on a new single. Atop an old-school electro beat, the pair have become "Involved."

Canadian-raised producer Kaytranada gives the track a retro flavour with its busy hi-hat clips and shoulder pad-thick synth sounds. Towkio goes off on the track first to talk about the dangers of the friendzone, thus becoming more of a supporting sixth man than a power forward. Mensa meshes into the rhythm nicely with relationship-geared lyrics of his own that have him, just like Katy Perry, kissin' a girl. We hear he liked it.

You'll find the buds' bouncy new tune down below.
