Hot Jam of the Day: Strict Face, “Murderer” (f/ K-Major)

Strict Face
“Murderer” (f/ K-Major)
Strict Face EP (out soon on NLV Records)
The Australian grime producer links up with the man behind one of the best albums of 2015 on this modern R&B banger. Face (né Jon Santos) pairs a twinkle-toed harp melody (think: “The Boy is Mine”) with thudding sub-bass and syncopated percussion. The beat is a brilliant match for the Atlanta vocalist’s tender, elastic tenor, which slithers around the heavy drums with consummate ease.
