Exclusive mix 47: STR

Ever since releasing his debut mixtape, Wonderland Volume 1, this summer, Italo-Albanian local trap princeling STR's been high-up on the office radar. Indeed, with his uncanny mix of bass-heavy productions and offbeat delivery, the fuzzy-haired Brussels-based rapper-producer brings a much-needed dose of fresh air to the scene's stale state. And, to mark the release of our November-December edition (out Monday 2nd November) which features an interview with the yungun - also know as Sami Tha Ripou - we've tasked him with recording an exclusive mix for us. Asked to describe it, here's what he had to say: "Join us in the depths of Bxhell Phonk, for an exclusive bassy mix full of 808, cowbells and codeine. 100% trill pimp$hit." Voila.
