about
Burgeoning Eora-based artist and producer Big Skeez today announces the release of his debut mixtape, Work Don’t Stop, coming soon via NLV Records. With the news, he also shares a brand new single, the vibrant ‘90’s Baby (ft DatBreddaDom)’.
Work Don’t Stop is a release that holds a defined sense of originality, all while enveloping a collective experience that is a proud sense of being simultaneously from and for a community. With his ability to plant himself alongside global stars like Obongjayar, J Hus, and Burna Boy, Big Skeez blends a variety of styles without hesitation, immersing himself in the sounds of Africa, Afrobeat, Dancehall, Reggae, and R&B that have been studied from his parents and “borrowed” from older siblings in between his years of consistent output.
Priming listeners for a debut mixtape that’s set to showcase this true creativity, Big Skeez leans in with ‘90’s Baby (ft DatBreddaDom)’, sharing that “the song is about just having a great time with your family and friends partying and enjoying best memories together. Dom came down to Sydney for a weekend and we were just vibing in my studio listing to some of my unreleased records I was showing him and I showed him '90s Baby' and he loved it so I told him he should get on it and write a verse, which he did, and we ended up recording his vocals that night."
Whereas ‘Go Back Home’ explored a more deep side to Big Skeez, ‘90’s Baby (ft DatBreddaDom)’ turns his attention to the fleeting present. Richly textured, the track is built around an afrobeat palette and pulls together crisp percussion with an upbeat production. With a hard-hitting bassline and anthemic pop vocals, ‘90’s Baby (ft DatBreddaDom)’ marks the next taste of what will be revealed soon in his forthcoming mixtape, a release that is boldly personal with intent grounded in reality.
lyrics
Yeh it’s my best friend in a party we getting real loose
Doobies we high and a bottle of that Henny no Grey Goose
How you tryna party with us
Like how you tryna party with us
How you tryna party with us
You ain’t never seen a man like me baby the way I pull up in that Nikes baby,
I’m fresh to death cause I’m 90s baby
You digging me out most likely baby I know it
Yeh you fly with that dress on so show it
Gyal dem mad when they see you so own it
Yeh we get it popping in the function no Moët
Only Henny bottle in my hand like where where we going
Yeh it’s my best friend in a party we getting real loose
Doobies we high and a bottle of that Henny no grey Goose
How you tryna party with us
Like how you tryna party with us
How you tryna party with us
How you tryna party with us
How you tryna party with us
How you tryna party with us
Like how you tryna party with us
It’s me and my best friend in a party we getting real loose
Doobies and we high and a bottle of that Henny no Grey Goose
You might see wit my breddaz gettin wavy in da cut, tell me what you tryna do
You ain't put nuttin in da pot
You're a flop, out da section better move
Lil shorty wait, she looking kinda cute
What it do? No Henny said she want the Grey Goose
Pour two, double cup siamese the spliff too
Man I think she really love da crew, no joke ting
If you really want it you get it in the morning
Brr brr ex man's calling
She feel it in her belly like I'm popping off the corn ting
Telling me I that I'm her motivation, Kelly Rowland
I know you feeling da vibe
I can see it in your eyes
Said dat she wanna be mine
I said yeh, just for tonight
Yeh it’s my best friend in a party we getting real loose
(We be getting real loose)
Doobies yeh we high a bottle of that Henny no Grey Goose,
How you tryna party with us
Like how you tryna party with us
How you tryna party with us
Like how you tryna party with us
It’s my best friend, cruising in whip through the west ends
Heading to a party so it’s vibes all night but we lost like heading to a dead end
But we back in our lane though
Yeh I gotta switch it up a bit it’s like the same flow
Dancing to the tempo now I’m feeling groovy so I’m acting real gentle
She said that she loves me I think she just tripping might have said it accidental
Hmmm lost in the thoughts but it’s cool like 10 just meet me at central
Yeh we get it popping in the function baby no Moët
Only henny bottle in my hand like where where we going
Yeh it’s my best friend in a party we getting real loose
(We be getting real loose)
Doobies yeh we high a bottle of that Henny no Grey Goose
How you tryna party with us
Like how you tryna party with us
How you tryna party with us
Like how you tryna party with us
Like how you tryna party with us
How you tryna party with us
Like how you tryna party with us
