Scandinavian artists are somewhat of an unknown entity for myself, and aren't something I'd consider myself an expert on. However, Danish beat wizard Slowolf is one person who I've had my ears locked onto for a short while now, ever since I first heard his track "Dance Floor" early last year, which featured the legendary rapper Raekwon. The way he blended dirty, electronic synths with organic sounding drums to create a truly stomping backdrop for Raekwon to spit onto was something that really made me sit up and take notice.

In 2014, the sum of Slowolf's efforts all point towards his Bounty EP, which is due out on May 26th. We've already had a single drop from the project, and as we draw ever nearer to the release date for the EP, I'm delighted to bring to you the exclusive premiere of the latest track to be taken from the project, "Horsey". Featuring the clunky, futuristic production that Slowolf has showcased on previous single "Overdose", and the Danish beatmaker has called upon one of London's hottest young rappers Benny Banks, who delivers a concise verse that shows his slick flow and some rather clever wordplay. The pair compliment each other brilliantly, as the icey production from Slowolf serves as the perfect canvas for Banks to paint with his words.
You can stream "Horsey" below, and be sure to keep an eye and ear out for the full Bounty EP, which is due to be released on May 26th.
