Toronto-based artists K.O. Strat and Lifted Thought have teamed up to create “Villainous,” a track that drips with the essence of classic hip-hop while pushing creative boundaries. Released on July 17, 2024, this collaboration captures the gritty spirit of old-school boom bap infused with a modern, spacey twist.

“Villainous” immediately grabs your attention with its hard-hitting drums and an ethereal sample that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. Fans of Madlib, MF DOOM, and J Dilla will recognize the influence but will also appreciate the unique flavor that K.O. Strat and Lifted Thought bring to the table. The production is tight, with a break beat that anchors the track while allowing the more experimental elements to shine through.
