As Halloween approaches, the music of Fatboi Sharif resonates more deeply. Known for his avant-garde and atmospheric rap style, the former Stereogum Artist To Watch excels at collaborating with others who share his artistic vision. Recently, he and established underground producer Steel Tipped Dove released an album titled Decay, which saw a deluxe edition added last month. Now, they’ve teamed up again, this time including the talented Texan artist Fat Tony.
Interestingly, despite their similar names, Fatboi Sharif and Fat Tony offer contrasting styles. Fat Tony, who actually takes his name from a notorious character on The Simpsons, is not actually overweight. This collaboration is far from a comedic indie-rap duo scenario. Instead, it brings together Fatboi Sharif and Fat Tony with Steel Tipped Dove’s captivating, intense production, allowing their distinct voices to shine as they alternate verses. The new project is titled Brain Candy, and it is available for streaming below.
The album Brain Candy is available now via Fused Arrow; you can purchase it here.
