‘Skittles’ is the eagerly awaited slick new single by BBC 1XTRA, KISS/ CAPITAL XTRA/ GRM Daily rapper Baseman. The chilled, up tempo track is produced by the multi-talented Louis Dutch and gonna bring fresh air to the UK rap scene. Baseman says, ‘I invited Louis Dutch my producer to the session to hear some beats. At first, he skipped the beat and I told him to go back to it. I felt a vibe from the beat that also matched the vibe in the room. We were smoking skittles strains and sipping lean and I based the topic of the song around our activities taken place in the studio.’

The independent East London rapper started showcasing his talents back in 2013, collaborating with J Hus, Chip, Krept & Konan, DJ P Montana and building a loyal fanbase at the same time. The single ‘Bad Habits’ has taken the underground scene by storm with more than 2,5 million views on You Tube.
