Watch Khary Durgans And Rome Fortune’s Trippy “Swim Team” Video

December 16, 2014

Meet Khary Durgans, or Khary fuckin' Durgans, that's the name, as he introduces himself on the title track from his recent Swim Team EP. At once spacey and hard-knocking, "Swim Team" features loopy wordplay, a guest verse from Rome Fortune, and an unusual, chest pounding refrain: Bitch, I'm the captain of the swim team! Likewise, the song's accompanying video is not your typical swagger rap fare—although they did seem to have a generous inflatables budget.

"Opus Proper produced the beat and it was pretty left field from what I was used to making, but it was perfect. A few months prior I had released my debut project, Love + Anchors, which was overall a pretty humble project/over looked, so I wanted to make something a lot more in your face," the New York-based MC told FADER. "And it sort of became my confidence, [Ed note: one more time, and all together now] BITCH I'M THE CAPTAIN OF THE SWIM TEAM!"
