BLACK FONDU spirals into madness on “im not sleeping”

Who needs a steaming cup of caffeine when you can wake up to BLACK FONDU’s latest single, “im not sleeping”?

The abstract grime artist, born in Accra, Ghana and now based in Peckham, South East London, delivers a track designed to make you squirm—in the best way. It’s grimy, loud, emotionally raw, and intentionally disorienting. This isn’t just a song—it’s a full-body jolt.

FONDU’s vocals lean into a rock-inspired, auto-tuned rasp as he shouts “I’m not sleeping” and other mostly unintelligible lines, a deliberate choice that mirrors the unraveling of a fragile psyche.

Sonically, the production blends grime, electronic, and glitch pop. 

The rhythm lurches forward in stops and starts, with an undercurrent of drum and bass that lays just enough foundation for the screeching, distorted vocals to take up space. The result isn’t meant to make sense—it’s meant to feel like madness, capturing the slow, spiraling descent of a mind unraveling.

The chaotic blend—or intentional clash—of sonic elements is harsh, metallic, and warped, and it’s clearly by design. BLACK FONDU doesn’t just want you to hear the noise—he wants you to sit in the discomfort.
