Lancey Foux – Life in Hell
UK rapper, creator, and style icon Lancey Foux releases the highly anticipated new LP LIFE IN HELL. London’s “best-kept secret” has steadily made waves overseas with his distinct blend of UK drill and American trap, and LIFE IN HELL sees the Stratford-born artist’s most impressive progression yet. Utilizing his vocal versatility and innovative beat selection, Foux synthesizes trap, punk, hyperpop, R&B, and electronica into an atmospheric, intergalactic experience with the help of producers like BNYX®, Jay Trench, and even house-legend Kaytranada.
Foux delivers his high-energy sound on explosive bangers like “SUN MOON” and “WORLD ON FIRE,” while displaying melodic and lyrical range on tracks like the deep-space melody “RIDE TILL YOU DIE,” two-sided “CASINO ROYALE/THANK YOU,” and contemplative opener “SPIRIT OF X2C.” The release also comes alongside a new music single for the pulsating single “ALL NIGHT LONG.”

Highlights include the upbeat accounting of “Add It Up,” “the laidback bounce of “Flyest of My Generation,” the comedic back-and-forth storytelling of “Jeezy WYA,” the celebratory vibes of “Only 4 The Night,” and the descriptive second-person confessions of “Have You Ever (feat. Cash Kidd).”
