Nostalgic big rap and boom-bap vibes captured with a certain raw edge of real indie garage music. NekU$AkeN blends something like old-school hip hop with the comedy, character and rhythmic bounce of Bloodhound Gang, for the X-rated anthem Living Like Larry 2.0.
First written and recorded back in 2019 during his high school years, Living Like Larry 2.0 is the latest version of the track, and features a bold set of verses devoted to the sexual fantasies and self-confidence of our protagonist, before riding its way towards a catchy melodic hook that lingers in the space.
The NekU$AkeN voice is unfiltered and fearless, depth of tone and playful self-congratulatory lyrics feeling like a Friday-night ode to to the lo-fi mixtapes of the past, as well as to the adlib or freestyle raps that made up many a late-night stoner session, back in the day. The single reflects upon this quality too, a self-aware and comical progression, with a quirky lighter vocal for the hook, and a central sound and personality that should effectively prove recognisable across all NekU$AkeN releases.
