NEW MUSIC | ANIK KHAN “MAN DOWN” (FT. NISH & HAILE SUPREME)

By Mark Mukasa • On What is New

For the first single and video off his upcom­ing “Denied // Approved” EP, Anik Khan takes equal parts from UK and NYC drill to make it his own.
Team­ing up with UK-based singer/songwriter Nish and fre­quent col­lab­or­at­or Haile Supreme, Khan recruits DJ LYAN on pro­duc­tion for the high energy, synth heavy “Man Down”. “I ain’t try­ing to go to county, I got way too much to lose it, it ain’t about me,” raps Khan, allud­ing to his pos­i­tion as one of the few South Asi­an faces in the music industry in the U.S.

“Denied” is the first part of a two part EP, which explores Khan’s life as an artist and immig­rant in the U.S without leg­al cit­izen­ship. This is his first full-length release since his 2017 EP “Kites” and fea­tures Bas, Xavi­er Omar, Cozz, Nish and Robin Dey with pro­duc­tion from Sango, Click­N­Press, DJ Komari and more.

“Denied” is avail­able across all stream­ing plat­forms on 23rd July 2021.
