Track of the Week: No Refunds

Production heavyweight Stay Flee Get Lizzy enlists the cheek-laden charisma of rising star Nemzzz and unparalleled craft of alt rap king Knucks for one of the best rap collaborations of the year, No Refunds.

It’s increasingly difficult to name an influential UK rap artist that Stay Flee hasn’t worked with. With collaborations with the likes of Central Cee, Tion Wayne, Clavish and Lancey Foux to his name, the titanic producer has a relentless reach, with this impressive list of features further augmented by the recruitment of two of the scene’s most hotly tipped and successful players this year. Building up to the release of his highly anticipated debut album, Stay Flee has flaunted his eclectic production tendencies, blessing us with releases spanning a diverse array of genres, from the psych trap of Might Be to the boisterous drill of Lately. 

The lively new cut taps into sample drill sensibilities that helped Nemzzz soar to social media virality, with Knucks highlighting his impressive stylistic adaptability. Sharing hook responsibilities, the pair provide gusto and bounce before dipping into verses that showcase their respective flow, tone and style. The retro video perfectly matches the energy and mood of the sonics, with performance style shots visually elevating the nonchalance and arrogance of the cut.
