It Is What It Is

Combining UKG, Afrobeats, Drill, 2-step and Balie funk, North West London Rapper Kalada hits us with ‘It Is What It Is’. This track managed to fly under the radar last year and we are here to give it its dues. With smart lyricism and infectious flow, Kalada’s bars jive through a contagious fusion instrumental, combining garage, afrodrill, 2-step and Brazilian funk. Sonically unique and uplifting in its message, ‘It Is What It Is’ is a soundtrack to hopefulness.

The single and video have been supported by GRMDAILY, Kiss Fresh, BBC 1xtra, and creations on Tik Tok. Last year was a pivotal year for Kalada as he managed to hit 300k+ Spotify Streams on his soulful and introspective banger ‘Versatile’. With more tracks on the horizon, we are looking forward to hearing more from Kalada!
