unnamed-1 POWFU RELEASES EP "poems of the past" with HIT “DEATH BED” TOP 5 ON SPOTIFY, SHAZAM AND ALT RADIO

 

Rising lo-fi artist Powfu has officially released his debut EP poems of the past today via Columbia Records.

The 6-song collection showcases the 21-year-old emotive rapper’s diverse sound and talent, ranging from alternative to hip-hop and bedroom pop. The EP’s opener “death bed (coffee for your head)” put Powfu on the map this year and has climbed its way to the Top 5 at Alternative radio this week, while consistently holding Top 5 positioning on Spotify’s Global Top 50 and on Shazam’s Top Global 200. Several tracks see Powfu collaborating with some of his lo-fi peers including Sarcastic Sounds, Rxseboy, Jomie, ivri, and sleep.ing, who is also Powfu’s sister. Rounding out the EP is a new remix of “death bed (coffee for your head)” featuring one of Powfu’s all-time favorite bands, blink-182.

“The 6 songs on this EP are some of my favorites that I’ve ever recorded,” says Powfu. “I had a lot of fun experimenting with different features and sounds, and I hope everyone finds their own favorite song on it, whether they like hip-hop, punk, lo-fi or bedroom pop. Some of these songs were written about my own personal past, some are romantic stories I wanted to tell, but now they’re for the fans to interpret for themselves.”

For years, Powfu has been studying and contributing to the lo-fi hip-hop movement happening around the world, recording and releasing music from his bedroom and building up a legion of nearly 1 million followers across his pages in the process. Now, he’s firmly established himself as an important player in bringing the genre into the mainstream.
