KitschKrieg conquered their home country with their sleek aesthetic and futuristic sounds, and now the Berlin-based collective has America in their sights. Joining forces with Atlanta up-and-comer Anti Da Menace, KitschKrieg comes through with another banger.
Recently co-signed by heavy-hitters like Lil Baby and boxer Gervonta Davis, Anti Da Menace is one of the hottest risers in the ATL scene. Eschewing the bombastic trap sounds of Anti’s hometown, “Really Rich” provides the rapper with a bouncy, afro-inspired riddim, that showcases KitschKrieg’s impressive minimalism at its best. For his part, Anti takes to the instrumental like a natural, painting the contours of the instrumental with repeated phrases and captivating with his drawly flexes: “Shots fired, he’s a dead man on the scene/Casamigos turn me up, I think I’m tired of drinking lean/18-years-old, having grown man dreams,” spits Anti. Shot in crisp black-and-white–a KitschKrieg trademark–the video for “Really Rich” firmly focuses on Anti Da Menace as he delivers his performance in his home neighborhood.
“Really Rich” is the latest glimpse of German Engineering 1, the upcoming album from KitschKrieg, which features a stacked lineup of guest vocalists from the U.S. and UK rap scenes. The Anti Da Menace spotlight is the second single from the album, following the 2-step-flavored “Baby,” a collaboration with buzzing UK rapper Arz. German Engineering 1 arrives this summer via KitschKrieg’s own SoulForce Records.
