Southwest Hip Hop Phenom BELAGANAS Turn Up The Heat On Newest Single 'Jaywalkin'
BELAGANAS are more than just music; they are a movement, the likes of which haven’t been seen in years. Based on discography alone, they have far superseded their Beastie Boys comparisons, delivering musical offerings spanning a wider variety of genres than almost any other band before them. This is incredibly apparent on “Jaywalkin”, which features a mariachi song interpolated into a sticky trap beat, with a gut-wrenching (nearly screamo) chorus over it that demands to be heard above all else.
Fast paced and full of fury, “Jaywalkin” is the left-of-center workout anthem you never knew you needed. “Jaywalkin” finds BELAGANAS in their rawest form, throwing caution to the wind and delivering an expression of pure energy. Don’t think about it. Just feel it. It won’t be hard after you hear the song, trust me.
“This song is like Seinfield,” shares vocalist and producer of the track, Shanker. “It’s not really about anything, but it’s aware of that; and it uses that lack of esotericism to its advantage, focusing instead on packing a punch. And what a punch it packs, man.”
