Gaika

Brixton-born artist, rapper and producer Gaika releases his new album Drift – the most stylistically accurate representation of his personal tastes to date – on Big Dada. Drift is non-conforming and genre blending. Whilst hard to neatly fit in a box, the record feels like an avant garde blend of Electronic, Hip-Hop, Punk and Grunge music featuring soundscapes recorded from Gaika's travels abroad. Shapeshifting and cinematic in style, Gaika draws inspiration from musical greats; Prince, Wu Tang Clan, Massive Attack, and John Coltrane, with his approach akin to the Pink Siifus, A$AP Rockys, and Dean Blunts of this world.
