Teddy Fantum Gives Us User Experience
Teddy Fantum is an anomalous artist hailing from Toronto. People may know him as TFHOUSE from the days where he toured with Mac Miller throughout the Blue Slide Park tour. However, today, Fantum has carved a lane of his own.
The birth of Fantum was introduced to us through his 2017 album "Help Me”. Help Me walked us through Fantum's new sound that featured a lot of reflective yet eery content over dark abstract trap production. The only feature on Help Me was from artist G Milla, whom Fantum went on to group with for self-titled 2018 album "Hard to Kill".
His recent release, “User Experience”, is a gift that keeps on giving.
“I think the best way to describe User Experience is as an anthology. I wanted to release music in a more open and fluid format than the albums I’ve made; so I chose to have a constantly updating collection of music that kind of taps into my stream of consciousness. A lot of my music has been deeply personal so this time I wanted to conceptualize it around our current shared experience as people, hence the title, that I think also has several meanings people could take from it”
Currently, the User Experience playlist is updated with four records; including "Shotty" which features Sean Leon (a main component to the Jesus is King album by Kanye West).
Our personal favourite is the first record that kicked off User Experience, “Dip Out”. Fantum seems to ponder on the thought of how his name and his legacy would be carried on after he is no longer living. These thoughts are triggered by Fantum telling us that a lot of the people close to him are dead and he questions why he's still here.
Listen to User Experience and stay tuned for Fantums constantly updated collection of music.
