SamRecks, a south London native of Nigerian descent, is gearing up to release his first record next month, and his latest song, “SUMO,” encapsulates his distinctive approach once again with its combination of musical ingenuity and languid, innovative lines. In a society dominated by social media, “SUMO” chronicles SamRecks’ fruitless search for love. Sam’s heartfelt words, backed by a rhythm expertly crafted by longtime colleagues XO The Plug and Posh Teddy, take listeners back to the beginnings of romantic relationships.
SamRecks has a powerful, introspective, and undeniably London sound that belies his young age. His growing interest in skateboarding and aggressive DIY mindset brings to mind the likes of Tyler, The Creator or A$AP Rocky; he is involved in all element of his music, from production to artwork to crafting the “SUMO” video himself in 24 hours (finding locations, videographers, and models). “SUMO” follows the rising star’s early viral singles “Love and Attention” (1.7M+ streams) and last year’s “Would You Let Me,” establishing Rekki as a significant new independent artist in the landscape through its narrative of nostalgia and a personal life that heavily leans into creativity, fashion, and love.
SamRecks, who has a keen ear for music and an eye for style, is quickly gaining acclaim as one of the UK’s most promising up-and-coming artists. Watch the video for SUMO below and add to your playlist HERE!
