Emo rap renegade Eternally the Insurgent charged up with Kodie Shane to drop the grit with glitz of their seductively luxe hit, PAPARAZZI. Overlook Woman Gaga’s monitor, this 8-bit-adjacent earworm slices straight by means of the cultural zeitgeist, its chiptune-esque synths teasing at playfulness earlier than the rap bars crash in, skewing the combination into psychotropic effervescence. The impact is each disarming and addictive, like slipping right into a digital fever dream the place lure, punk, and paranoia are all talking without delay.
In Atlanta’s underground chaos, Eternally the Insurgent has been honing their craft with unapologetic swagger, and right here, Kodie Shane’s slick venom slots in prefer it was at all times meant to be. The interaction is magnetic; Eternally the Insurgent floats between ache and energy, whereas Kodie serves every bar with calculated chunk. Beneath all of it, eerie pop-punk threads entwine with the low-end thud of 808s, creating an environment that feels as suited to a packed mosh pit because it does to late-night headphones.
The official video is an all-senses hit; cinematic polish frames uncooked riot, each shot carrying the identical reckless pulse because the monitor itself.
PAPARAZZI is now out there on all main streaming platforms – together with YouTube.
