Parisian trip-hop duo Frizzy P & Mr. Cole do not hold back in their bubbling new single "The Bigger Man Sank" Another spellbinding cut from their forthcoming EP Ladi Dadi, III, this track resonates. It melts the frame and walks in.
You're stepping into a world painstakingly built but willfully unrefined. Mr Cole's production is a crate-digger's fever dream warped jazz samples and synth tones that feel like they've been dunked in analog warmth and left to dry out in a dystopian future. It's trip-hop with a memory but unafraid to scuff its boots.
Frizzy P's delivery is as smoky as it is scorching. There's a slow-burn indignation to her cadence, a lived-in grit that implies protest not merely as an act but as a way of existing. Her voice lurches between the steps of the beat, never hurried, never needing to yell to be heard.
"The Bigger Man Sank" is velvet-burning protest music. The title alone reads like a double-edged riddle, beckoning listeners to plunge further into its layered political, personal, and maybe even spiritual meanings. Frizzy P & Mr Cole are making noise that matters. And in a world where the loudest voices often obscure the most profound realities, this is a necessary disruption.
