Finally, some music that makes you want to get up and do something! English talent Mura Masa and voice of the youth slowthai have teamed up to deliver us a full-on riot pop anthem.

"Deal Wiv It" possesses real toss-me-around, so what if I chip a tooth energy. The entire song is unapologetically English. Mura Masa is more than just a talented producer; he's an architect of sound. Through each of his latest singles, including "Deal Wiv It," he's able to build a world of the past within the present. His music evokes nostalgia.  

Both slowthai's vocally dramatic presence and Mura Masa's stellar overlaying ribbed guitar, gritty bass work, and tick-tocking high hats create a realm filled with relaxed chaos. It is the enthralling vision of someone calmy narrating the world around you as it crumbles. This is new wave. This is post-punk.  

Visually, slowthai is a thrill to watch in the accompanying video to "Deal Wiv It." Somewhere in Serbia, slowthai runs through an apartment parking lot as a camera follows his every move. He looks like a total renegade, hopping over curbs, and flipping off the camera in his slowthai branded boxers. The entire affair is a moment of contained, euphoric chaos.
