Steve Aoki and Grandson join a ‘KULT’ for their wild new collaboration
Steve Aoki and Grandson have teamed up for a wild new track, ‘KULT’, which also features rising rapper Jasiah.The crossover record is the first preview of Aoki’s yet-to-be-titled upcoming album, and showcases “some of the new and old sounds” that have recently inspired the superstar DJ.Lyrically, the track approaches the cynicism and pressure of having the world on your back and looking for a way out, while the explosive instrumental throws rock, rap and EDM into a blender.Speaking on the collaboration, Aoki said:”‘KULT’ is the first taste from my upcoming album and showcases some of the new and old sounds that have recently inspired me.“Grandson and Jasiah have both been killing it recently, so I was excited to get them together on a track. The energy and lyrics capture a certain kind of feeling that will shake you to your core and possibly even persuade you to join the ‘KULT’.”Watch the Ava Rikki-directed video for ‘KULT’ below:“‘KULT’ is about what happens when the imaginary world becomes more attractive than the real world we inhabit,” Grandson added.
