Why do we like this?

This is my first introduction to Switzerland-based artist Lionaire, but not London based artists/rappers Alista Marq and Kelvyn Colt.

Here they have all collaborated on Lionaire’s new track "Down," produced by multi-platinum producers OZ (Drake; Travis Scott) and Cubeatz (Kanye West, Schoolboy Q, Partynextdoor).

Usually I don't tend to cover such "rap-heavy" tracks, but this one stuck with me and it was a no-brainer. The boys touch on subjects of disappointment, addiction, obligation, and a range of other sobering human flaws. The production leaves enough space for the story to unfold, with Alista singing the chorus while Lionaire and Colt tag team on the verses.

Looking forward to hearing more from all these guys!
