Alpaca Presents | Badliana + Support
Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Badliana oozes smouldering RnB NRG all over trap / drill / grime-inflected bass-busting riddims. Championed by the invaluable Saffron Records, there’s a vital edginess amidst these bo$$ club-pop feels. Definitely one-to watch FFO: Grove, Tlya X An, FKA Twigs, Etta Bond. "
