Featuring previous singles ‘Woodstock’, ‘Sports & Tattoos’ and ‘Shlumped Up’, Elevator Music cements KhakiKid as an undeniably fresh presence in the burgeoning Irish rap scene, his unique sound marking him as one of the most exciting new artists to watch in 2022.

Speaking about the EP, KhakiKid said: “I see Elevator Music as the opening Soundtrack to a movie that's being written in real time. I love the idea of listeners first stepping into the lift and not knowing what floor or world they’ll be taken to, because I’m in the exact same position as them.”
