Former Braidfeeder signee Azizi Gibson flipped the page and started a new chapter in the hip-hop career with his A New Life LP last month. And with his first new music since, the internationally groomed rapper remixes Future’s “Perkys Calling” from his Purple Reign mixtape.
Where the original focuses on a trying to take control of a crippling drug addiction, Azizi turns the haunting, piano-led production into a song of affluence, chest pounding and growth. It’s a nice flip, but it’s an even better reminder at how cold this beat from Southside and song are.
