Ok, this isn’t exactly an official collaboration or remix, but it is still very certified. Stormzy appears on the flavour of the moment, thanks to trap production powerhouse Stooki Sound, who took to their SoundCloud page last night to drop a very fresh remix.
Taking the accapella of Stormzy’s crossover hit “Know Me From” and placing it over the riddim for Desiigner’s “Panda” (or Kanye West’s “Father Stretch My Hands Part 2“, depending who you speak to), the duo have made something very live indeed.
It captures the energies of both of the original tracks and transforms it into a stampeding bull of a track. It highlights just how cohesively grime and trap can work together and would be sure fire to go off in the dance. Now we’re just itching to hear Stormzy come and light this beat up for real.
There has been a whole host of “Panda” freestyles dropping since the song picked up traction, with versions coming from Proton (who beat the wave, remixing it before Kanye’s version was out), Cashtastic and Big 6ix. Which is your favourite?
