evilgiane has the potential for pure insanity behind the boards, but he’s been taking a more minimal approach lately. His latest production, a two-and-a-half-minute track titled “Basic,” continues in this vein, with a muted trap beat setting the stage for masterfully nonchalant performances from Anycia and Robb Bank$. Anycia’s two verses sandwich Robb’s single, 24-bar run, her raspy flow fitting perfectly in the pocket of giane’s instrumental.
2023 has been a banner year from evilgiane, who’s produced standout tracks for Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem (“The Hillbillies”) and Earl Sweatshirt (“Making The Band (Danity Kane)”) — not to mention countless cuts for his extended Surf Gang family. “idgaf,” his recent collaboration with Nettspend and xaviersobased, is a certified Song You Need.
Listen to “Basic” below.
