Givenchy – Fakemink’s Creative New Single

Fakemink stands out as a loner in UK rap. This 19-year-old makes music like Dean Blunt does – he takes the plain parts of Britain and makes them feel fancy. He stays by himself most of the time. His strange music feels dark but shows off the dreams of someone who spends lots of time alone. He’s like the quiet kid in class who turns out to be super smart when it’s time to give a speech. Fakemink makes music in this cool, careless way.

His new song “Givenchy” is his 80th release this year. It mixes sad future sounds with lonely love stories. It’s one of the most creative UK rap songs of recent months. His friend cranes made the beat, which starts with spooky church bells. Then a sweet, choppy sample comes in and brightens things up. Fakemink raps in a cold, strict way, but adds tiny hints of love. “Givenchy, kiss her like Givenchy,” he sings softly. His plain way of talking has a touch of pink to it. He bounces all over the track, and you never know what he’ll do next.
