Genre-fluid act Codefendants continues their run of explosive singles with powerful track “Def Cons,” taken from their genre-defying album, This Is Crime Wave.Infusing the catchiest elements of rap, reggae, Latin pop and flamenco, folk, spy and cop movie soundtrack music, and even mainstream rock, the track is a vibrant anthem that lifts the mood instantly.
Delivering a stunning union of honest and sharp-witted lyricism as well as a soaring instrumentation of booming percussion, solid guitar lines and angsty yet swaggering vocals, the track is an endlessly surreal and cathartic melody that could effortlessly score a car chase, a break-in, a heist, or any other activity that bewilders and defies the authorities.
The track is accompanied by a music video with an impactful message. Speaking of the video, they said, “As someone who’s been pepper sprayed while arrested, beaten with nightsticks & had more police guns to my head than I’d like to remember, filming this video was an exercise in confronting PTSD.”
With an expansive fanbase for their bold, genre-defying mix of hip hop, new-wave, flamenco, Codefendants whip up gritty and catchy productions that leaves us excited for what they have in store for us next.
