Three words: “Hear the rumble.” Woo! 🎙 Elley Duhé is the first voice heard on 🎵 “Rumble”, a lit single attributed to a superstar team.  That’s right, 🎙 Skrillex, 🎙 Fred again.., and 🎙 Flowdan collaborate on the short but utterly sweet “Rumble.” Skrillex and Fred again… handle the production duties, which entails some sick percussion, synths, and of course, those pitched-up vocals by Duhé that recur. The heavy lifting vocally arrives courtesy of English Grime MC Flowdan, who is a vibe from the start of the first verse.

“Run for dem life when I step into the jungle,” he asserts, adding, “Said they wanna group up, they better move up / Never gonna win a Royal Rumble.” Woo! As stellar as those lines are, his best moments arrive on the refrain of sorts: “Yo, listen, you hear that? Killers in the jungle.” The music brilliantly matches Flowdan’s reference to the jungle with an intense percussive, tribal groove and a sense of enigma.  During the drop, Duhé fittingly drops references to the rumble, once more. Still, beyond the refrain Flowdan also drops some vibe-laden smoking references in the second verse (“Yo, you hear that? Over, smell the aroma”).


Final Thoughts 💭

All told, 🎵 “Rumble” is a surefire bop – the cat’s meow.  Skrillex, Fred again.., and Flowdan make a formidable team.  Throw in memorable contributions from Elley Duhé as well and “Rumble” is just the energy our January 2023 playlists needed.
