He released his cancel the party EP back in February and now Johan Lenox is already back with new music.
Over the weekend, Lenox shared his new song "reckless," which is a collaboration with KEY! and Young Nudy. It's an orchestral hip-hop creation, which further proves not only that Lenox never stops making music but that his musical palette is endless.
"When I first got into producing and singing, it was because of Kanye's album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," recalls Lenox. "As a classical composer, one of the things I liked most about the album was how eclectic it was. It felt symphonic in scale, and a big part of that was how Kanye managed to weave numerous, seemingly incompatible featured artists into his production palette. Similarly, I don't think most people would think to pair my phrygian-mode violin fanfare with KEY!'s delirious wailing or Young Nudy's manic sputtering, and that's why I like the idea so much. Their particular vocal styles are critical to achieving the wide tonal range that I wanted for this record."
The new song is accompanied by a video, which can be seen below.
