New Zealand’s Haan808 has been lowkey killing it. From collaborations with Sango & Montell2099, to an incredibly impressive EP with Good Enuff, those who know about about Haan808, know just how great his potential truly is. With that being said, it should come as no surprise to see Quality Goods Records backing the slept on talent with an upcoming EP and brand new single. Giving us a taste of what’s to come is ‘Letting Go’ alongside Brooklyn rapper Yuneer Gainz.
Illustrating Haan’s aptitude for collaboration and diversity, this one blurs the lines between hip hop, trap and future feels. Rolling synths and filtered drums set the tone. Vocal bends add both warmth and a slight chill to the introduction. The instrumental drop is funky and thick with bass, before moving keys shift the direction and provide the bed for Yuneer’s bars. The chemistry between producer and rapper is at a peak on ‘Letting Go,’ with each passing the spotlight back and forth with ease. Classic NY rap flavour mingles with forward-thinking Kiwi knock, don’t miss this one.
