SunnyBoyFitz re-enters the frame with “What I Want,” a sharp, self-produced statement that sets the tone for his upcoming summer project. The Peckham-born, Lagos-raised creative leans fully into his multi-hyphenate identity here, artist, producer and curator of his own world.
Built on driving synth patterns and clipped percussion, the record carries a restless momentum. Backing ad-libs punctuate his delivery, while his cadence remains loose yet controlled. There’s a clear nod to early 2000s UK energy, from Wiley references woven into the lyrics to the DIY spirit reminiscent of Channel U-era visuals.
“What I Want” feels intentionally unpolished in the best way. Rather than chasing high-gloss commercial finish, SunnyBoyFitz embraces grit and texture. The track taps into cultural memory while staying current, balancing nostalgia with forward motion.
As the first taste of his forthcoming project, this release suggests a body of work rooted in UK identity, stripped-back, chaotic and authentic. If this is the entry point, SunnyBoyFitz is positioning himself not just as a participant in the culture, but as a student and architect of it.
