Slowthai And Skepta Are Horror Icons In The Bloody ‘Cancelled’ Video – UPROXX

With just three days to go until the release of his highly-anticipated sophomore album, Slowthai shares one last video from the upcoming project featuring Skepta and a whole lot of horror film references. In the video for Cancelled, Thai and Skepta revisit the Wazzup? gag from Scary Movie, the infamous axe and face peel scenes from American Psycho, and reinterpret Candyman, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Nightmare On Elm Street.

Talking with Apple Musics Zane Lowe about the new track, Thai revealed its antsy, tense energy was inspired by his own bad mood the day they recorded and some hallucinogenic mushrooms. Yeah, we were on shrooms, he admits. Like, youve got to refresh the mind sometimes. It gives you an insight into yourself So Im sitting down and Im just in a negative place, I was being negative. You know when youre just that one bad apple in the room? Yeah, the energy is off And it was that none of us wanted to go on the first bit, but then Skep was coming like, hes like, Yo, what we should be like? We should come like this. This is how we go about it.

Slowthai debuted Cancelled last week on The Tonight Show with an eerie pre-taped performance teasing the dark undertones of the video to come. Meanwhile, his Tyron rollout has also included high-concept videos for Feel Away, NHS, and Mazza.
