SunnyBoyFitz cements his arrival with CopyRightKid, a debut mixtape that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Following the momentum of singles “What I Want” and “Hot Head Wiley,” the London creative delivers a project rooted in the raw spirit of early 2000s Black British music.
From the opening track “Pass Out,” the tone is clear. Wonky synths and double-time drums nod to the era that shaped a generation, while Sunny’s commanding delivery keeps things modern. There’s a clear appreciation for grime’s foundations, but this isn’t imitation, it’s reinterpretation.
“What I Want” reinforces that lineage, while “Hot Head Wiley” directly salutes grime royalty with a self-produced instrumental that flips iconic influences into something personal and charged.
Elsewhere, “African Man” leans into bassline culture with festival-ready energy, built for call-and-response moments. As the tape progresses, Sunny shifts inward. Tracks like “Chaos” reveal a more reflective voice, contrasting upbeat production with thoughtful lyricism.
CopyRightKid thrives on organised disorder. Vocal chops, bass-heavy drops and restless energy define the soundscape. It feels like a love letter to a pre-commercial era, chaotic, authentic and culturally grounded.
SunnyBoyFitz isn’t just referencing history. He’s reshaping it.
