Fly Anakin shares a new single/ music video, “Intrepid.” The track is from the second half of his Skinemaxxx project produced by Foisey, dropping July 28th via Lex Records. The sly, creeping groove of Foisey’s production on the new track finds the Mutant Academy exercising years of musical chemistry on a track. “Intrepid” feels a world away from Anakin’s previously-released single “Things Change,” featuring London-based singer-songwriter Demae. Yet, the tracks are anchored by Anakin’s meticulous raps. The single’s Noah Porter-directed visual finds Anakin installing ‘Skinemaxxx’ in a lavish hillside home and taking in the scenery.
Skinemaxxx’s opening side introduced fans to the immersive concept of the project, rooted in the nostalgia of catching your favorite cartoons, and channels you shouldn’t be watching. Side B picks up that channel-surfing journey and maintains the quintessential tone with chock full of inside jokes and tongue-in-cheek skits and technically-proficient rapping with colorful production. The first installment of Skinemaxxx included singles like “Outsidigan’s Anthem,” and “Blicky Bop,” which challenged Anakin’s dexterity with a production style out of his comfort zone, showing an immersive new side to the artist that Pitchfork calls “the single best pure rapper in the scene.”
