Interstellar word-smith Spaceman beams in from somewhere in the cosmos with new single “Think Twice.” Somewhere between vaporwave, the darkly analog synth soundtracks of John Carpenter, and abstract boom-bap, the off-kilter slap was produced by The Suspect (Allegedly). Spaceman comes with rugged, bugged rhymes and enlists fellow lyrical non-conformist Fatboi Sharif for a guest verse.
Speaking on the link-up for this joint, Spaceman relayed, “I’ve known Fatboi for a long time. He and his homie (89 the Brainchild) were doing an underground radio show that supported my (then) crew back in the early 2010s. Interestingly enough, he didn’t even rap back then. Fatboi makes it known that his style is definitely *not* horrorcore, which I respect, but being the pea-brain I am, I still can’t help but associate him with that aesthetic.
So, when I was thinking of who could help me sketch out the dark cerebral atmosphere of this record, his was the name that jumped out.” “Think Twice” is part of the self-proclaimed “Social Skills” series of singles from Spaceman to drop this year. The title of the series is a nod to the emcee’s willingness to step out of his comfort zone and collaborate with other rappers who he respects (considering Spaceman’s last three projects, which were strictly solo affairs).
