Isatta Sheriff and Koralle strike again! ‘Will They Try’ is the third single from the upcoming EP ‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ by the East London MC and the Bologna-based beat smith. Through her purposeful lyrics which Isatta has become renowned for, we witness her poetically reflect on her battles to get to this point in her musical career. 

“This is the most important track on the EP as it addresses the exploitation of Black women in hip hop, and the exploration of hip hop in general. We have started to talk about the countless Black female singers and songwriters in dance and hip hop music who go uncredited in the U.K, and I wanted to extend the conversation to Black female rappers and explore the racial politics and misogynoir connected to this. 
People often ask the same questions regarding women’s position in hip hop, and I ask ‘will they try to understand’ the full scope of the problem and then DO something, because the conversation is stuck and needs to progress.” - Isatta

Produced by Koralle, the soul-filled production combines elements of Jazz and Hip-Hop, with the saxophone colliding perfectly with her lyrics to allow the story to unfold. The artwork was created by Colombian illustrator SagaUno who also did the covers for The Silhouettes Project (2020) and Koralle's Beat Kiosk (2021). 

‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ will be available digitally and on LP (including instrumental edits of all tracks for the beat lovers out there) on September 23rd.

Isatta’s track record includes collabos with Flying Lotus, Oddisee, Arrested Development and Athletic Progression. She is hosting a radio show, runs her own label Doctored Sound and works as a music writer. Koralle is one of the most in demand European beatmakers with a sound rooted in jazz and boom-bap. Since signing with MPM in 2019, he has released three albums and accumulated more than 30 million streams. The duo’s first collabo ‘Laid Back’ was released in 2021 as part of Koralle’s album Fonografie.

Happy Freestyle Friday y’all.

Here are the Lyrics


Yeah you know a nigga is the one,
I got my own version of misses applebum,
The newest human vagabond,
Undercover brother tryna get him one,
Getting away from rat races to dry plum 
I’m Bond as the word is,
I’m a king but don’t call me Curtis,
They illiterate can barely read cursive 
Go ask James for those hitman services,
They rather flourish off my culture than see me win,
That’s the worst tip,
Herses,
For anyone in the way of the kid,
Ain’t no lane merging,
Hypocrite if Easter your only visiting day for churches,
I double down and blow a gasket for these verses,
I’m steady learning,
Building my yellow brick road from these curses,
On to the horizon for what I’m deserving,
Tryna keep a straight line like why the fuck are you swerving,
Nigga I am your superior,
Thank me for my service,
 
 
 
 
(Hook x2)
 
Let me put me on,
Don’t need no handouts when I take you on,
A vagabond nigga,
Ronin like the sensei gone ,
Recognize I tranquilize competition that come,

Now A Daze (feat. Zion)
