Crankdat has returned with another track that gets everyone up on their feet. His newest single is “BADFUTURE” and today is its release day. “BADFUTURE” is released via Kayzo’s imprint Welcome Records and it follows up on his last two tracks, “Poppin” and “Fire”. Before “BADFUTURE” and the aforementioned two tracks, Crankdat recently released his latest EP, Mechanized Mayhem, in March. “BADFUTURE” would be a perfect track for everyone to bump their heads to at a show or music festival once everything gets better again. The single is available for download and stream on various streaming platforms.
“BADFUTURE” has a “good future” at live performances
The single begins with glitchy rhythms and percussive beats, which provide it with an energetic head start. Afterwards, the tempo heightened the sounds that later gave way to a magnificent bass drop. The qualitative percussive and synth elements contributed to an already-pumped up track. “BADFUTURE” later directed the tempo to a steady end by incorporating tropical-sounding jingles. The jingles calmly ended a track that had qualitative amounts of adrenaline.
