- A blistering, acid-flecked remix of a sardonic Ukrainian rap song.
- Ukraine rapper jockii druce’s March single "шо ви браття" ("What's Up Brothers") resonated with millions of people through a comic spin on the Russian invasion. BADWOR7H, a Kyiv DJ and producer inspired by '00s hard dance music, remixes jockii druce's most recent single, "боi стули пельку" ("Boi Shut Up"). On the original, the beat is as aloof as the rapper's flow about weed, money and sex, recorded in a nonchalant manner almost like a voice message. He's taking the piss out of self-serious Ukrainian rappers that copy the genre's American originals without localisation or context. BADWOR7H turns up the bass and slaps on the acid lines that punch as hard as the message behind the lyrics, emphasizing that the rapper's style is indifferent only ironically.
