Cardboard People’s Swimsuit Edition isn’t shy about calling out the polished pretense of objectification. The track marches forward with deliberate intent—heavy with groove, sharp in its wordplay, and unflinching in tone. It’s a statement masked in rhythm, peeling back layers of cultural performance while still keeping your head nodding. The production swings between alternative hip-hop textures and off-center pop notes, building a world that feels both rebellious and strangely inviting.

The Oakland-rooted trio—Yunoka Berry, Jim Greer, and Damien “Domino” Siguenza—don’t pull punches. Yunoka’s pen slices through performative norms, writing from a lens that’s rarely given center stage. Meanwhile, Greer and Siguenza bend genre lines with ease, shaping a track that doesn’t feel derivative of its influences (think Tyler, The Creator or early Doechii), but in conversation with them. Their collaborators—like Del The Funky Homosapien and Merlo Podlewski—only add to the depth of their catalog, and their upcoming set at Joshua Tree Music Festival on May 17th signals that this group’s live energy might be just as provocative as their studio work.
