Slew, born in West London and based in Hertfordshire, has been grinding a sound that puts a new spin on grime beats, but his latest single, "NEW TO ME," shows he's ready to expand the palette. A viral teaser has already climbed over 535K views on TikTok, so anticipation for the track has already reached the stratosphere and is finally here.
"NEW TO ME" is built on razor-sharp flows and an undeniable bounce. Slew oscillates between rapid-fire bars and minimal flexes, his trademark effortless fabulous threading through the narrative. The production is slick yet raw, bridging a futurist UK rap sound with the underground intensity that got him here in the first place.
Slew's international outlook brings an additional layer to his artistry. In addition to music, his influences from the time he spent in Japan seep into his creative world with fashion and culture, and that attention to detail presents itself all in his sound. Every bar on "NEW TO ME" comes across as a calculated move, but nothing is excessive. It's a natural elevation and an indicator that this is an artist who knows exactly what he's doing.
