Ahead of their long-awaited new record's release next week, Scottish hip-hop experimenters Young Fathers have lobbed out another stellar preview.
"Toy" joins up with "In My View" and "Lord" to preview Alloysious Massaquoi, Graham ‘G’ Hastings, and Kayus Bankole's upcoming LP Cocoa Sugar (which is excellent btw).
The album follows up Mercury-nominated 2015 offering White Men Are Black Men Too . It was written and recorded in the band's own basement studio over the course of 2017.
Young Fathers have a bunch of live shows booked for spring, including their biggest UK headline date yet at the Roundhouse in London. Find out full details.
Tracklist:
- See How
- Fee Fi
- In My View
- Turn
- Lord
- Tremolo
- Wow
- Border Girl
- Holy Ghost

Cocoa Sugar is out 9 March via Ninja Tune.
