DJ Semtex is back with a daring new banger with Twitch 4EVA from Ghana and Dreamville rapper Cozz.
A musical smash about the terror of letting a good one slip through your fingers, “Scary” came out right before Halloween. By fusing Cali rap, West African balladry, and the UK producer’s own genre-defying sound, the group bravely explores new territories.
Sinister synths slink around a hard-hitting trap beat and merge with hypnotising vocals by Ghanaian singer-songwriter Twitch 4EVA. “We live to die, yeah I know / But I can’t afford to lose you / It’s scary, scary,” he sings on the hook. Cozz drives the message home with an evocative verse that glides over the production: “Terrifying, losing you is worse than Halloween,” he raps.
‘Scary’ arrives with a cinematic video that follows DJ Semtex and Twitch 4EVA on a turbulent journey in Accra, capturing the freewheeling nightlife of Ghana’s capital with DJ Semtex on the decks. Meanwhile, at home in Los Angeles, Cozz grapples with his conscience.
