‘KALISMOKE – I’m Okay’ is an energizing, hypnotically stimulating EDM/phonk statement piece—a statement of strength, flow, and confidence.
The Indian-born, England-based producer KALISMOKE continues to deliver banger after banger, quickly establishing himself as a rising force in the phonk music sphere. His previous release, ‘vartmaan in the multiverse‘ was a short taster of his phonk sensibilities and had listeners eagerly awaiting his next. For the uninitiated, phonk is a radical mix of trap and hip-hop, characterized by the use of chopped production, rap vocals, and samples from jazz and funk.
‘I’m Okay’ begins with energetic, pulsing synth layers that grab your attention immediately. Low, growling vocals come in flaunting attitude and swagger. Anticipation builds and drops rapidly, jumping in with distorted, grooving bass beats and hypnotically tuned rhythms that have the listener nodding along furiously now. The icing is KALISMOKE’s effortless rap flow, giving the track an instantly engaging sound.
The track flows with assertiveness and immaculate confidence as KALISMOKE lays down the law and emphasizes his arrival explicitly. The addition of well-timed gunshot effects only underlines just how seriously he wants to be taken. At just under two minutes, this is a track that’s punchy, danceable, and has the right mix of vocals and effects to be an instant hit. The production is impressive and feels club-ready.
If you’re into music that traverses the lines between hip-hop, rap, electronic, and funk, this is a definite listen for you. It’s a great track for late-night drives or power moments in your workouts.
As KALISMOKE moves from strength to strength, we’re looking forward to what else he’s got lined up.
