The Fresh Prince of Arnhem Land Baker Boy is continuing his streak of addictive hip hop bops, today dropping his latest release ‘My Mind’ ft. pop heavyweight G Flip.
The mid-tempo number sees Baker Boy and G Flip traverse the genres of rap, R&B, nu soul and rock with total ease, each layer and texture injected with wild musical flavouring that’s gorgeously infectious. From gritty guitars in the verses to the wavy synths in the chorus, the two strike gold on the track, crafting a feel-good groove that rattles around your mind for days on end.
Baker Boy goes all the way in on his bars as well, propelled by the fuzzy strums as he raps about his special someone. The pre chorus sees him double down on the intensity, the contrast between the atmospheric synths and lyrical delivery cutting right the bone. The hook however sees G Flips vocals shine in all of their glory, the ‘Drink Too Much’ singer jamming out the catchy ‘Girl you’re know you’re blowing my mind’ as the fireworks of production totally surround them.
Speaking on the new heater, Baker Boy explains “‘My Mind’ is a fun tribute to the incredible women in both of our lives, we’re both really lucky to have incredible support networks so really it’s a song for those people too!” with G Flip adding “it’s a song about appreciating the beautiful women in our lives.”
With the new single comes some exciting news, the hip hop wizard announcing his debut album Gela, which is set to arrive on October 15th. Featuring 14 tracks including the already released ‘Ride’ ft. Yirrmal and today’s ‘My Mind’ with G Flip, Gela is the result of the various highs and lows that have defined Baker Boy’s rise in the last couple of years.
It’s all embodied in the album artwork by street artist Adnate, with Baker Boy explaining “I want people to see what my life is like, and where I come from.
“The journey from a remote community to living in the city and trying to adapt, and have that balance, is a lot of hard work, but it’s an amazing journey.”
