New DJANDJAY out now 😤 https://bakerboy.lnk.to/DJANDJAY

With the release of Baker Boy’s new album 'DJANDJAY' (pron. Jan-jay) out now, the multi-award winning Yolŋu superstar, also unveils brand-new single ’RUNNING LOW’ featuring US Rapper Pardyalone. A track that floats on an infectious, melodic hook but carries a deeper weight underneath of burnout, grief, and distance from home. “I was talking about being on the road, the pressure to create - but also the sacrifice of living away from community, of missing funerals and carrying that weight,” Baker Boy says. “It was a favourite from the demo, originally, I sang the hook, but bringing in Pardyalone gave it this crazy energy. His voice just hits.”

Sonically, Baker Boy boldly leans into punk for the first time, while still rapping in his first language Yolŋu Matha. Lyrically, Baker Boy channels his anger and frustration into vivid declarations of pride through powerful bars that mirror the colours and symbolism of the Aboriginal flag; “My pigment is my pride...red dirt, gold chains, blak knight, thick skin”.
 
Following the acclaim of his 5 x ARIA Award-winning debut album ‘Gela’, including Album Of The Year, ‘DJANDJAY’ is Baker Boy’s most emotionally layered and creatively evolved work yet. Named in honour of his late grandmother, ‘DJANDJAY’ also pays homage to the Yolŋu spiritual figure of the same name: a guiding octopus spirit that leads souls forward.

The 14-track ‘DJANDJAY’ album will include previously released singles ’THICK SKIN’, ‘PEACEKEEPER’, ‘FREAK OUT feat. Briggs and Haiku Hands’, ‘LIGHTNING’ feat. REDD. and will also include features from friends and collaborators Pardyalone (US), and Jean Deaux (US).

Strictly Kev aka DJ Food aka Openmind - Music producer, DJ and Graphic Designer. I've worked with and for Ninja Tune since 1993, designing covers, mixing radio shows and producing records as well as touring the world DJing. 

JessB knows her way around a party tune, but she also knows how to bury deeper messages of sadness, loss and dislocation inside club riddims, earworm melodies and tongue-twisting rhyme schemes. Born in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa, to a Kenyan father and a Pākehā mother, her music explores authenticity, personal growth, and connection, with the stamina of a professional athlete, the sensitivity of a textbook cancer sign, and the unfettered creativity of an artist who embraces change.

The co-founder of the storied Tamaki Makaurau QTPOC club night FILTH, JessB, has spent the last seven years traversing Aotearoa, Australia, Asia, Europe, and the UK, through the shared global cultures that connect hip-hop, R&B, dancehall, ragga and afrobeats. Along the way, she’s shared stages with Kehlani, recorded with Kranium, Sister Nancy, Sampa The Great and Gold Fang, and headlined her own tours. In her hands, music and joy become something more radical than entertainment alone, infusing resistance and solidarity into every song and show.
