Manila

Seelenluft

Back Yard

WE SAY

Manila was released on import last year and we remember at the time loving the kooky lyrics and vocal. The Swiss artist walked the streets of Compton, LA and recorded various characters - this track features a 12-year-old rapper. Also supported by Pete Tong (Essential New Tune), we'd love to see this reach the audience it deserves.
