Rising UK rapper French The Kid dropped his latest hit ‘Tijuana’ on 24 October with an accompanying music video. The Essex-born artist has just finished an Australian tour, and is gearing up for a new chapter in his career with ‘Tijuana’ valiantly leading the charge.
His previously released single ‘Galahad’ has garnered over 1.8 million views on YouTube alone and continues to rack up views daily. ‘Tijuana’ sees French The Kid dive into themes of introspection, hedonism and escapism. Produced by X10, it has a melancholic undertone, contrasted with a hefty 808 beat and French The Kid’s steadfast delivery creating a palpable atmosphere of contemplation. Despite the stripped down production, the track still carries vehement emotion and energy, with an undeniable grip showcasing his artistic prowess.
On the track, French The Kid shares; “Tijuana is a vibe man. Worked on the beat with a great producer named X10 and the hook just came to me. Tijuana is a play on words, as the original hook was ‘Purple Marijuana’.”
