Forward-thinking, cutting-edge and innovative are words commonly employed while discussing Stiff Pap. Referential isn't usually mentioned. But their tendency to cross-reference classic sounds is part of the reason why they’re the freshest product on the alt-wave scene since emerging in 2016. Stiff Pap Radio is a blend of kwaito beats, electro grooves, ‘80s-style bubblegum and party raps. It’s where video-game effects collide with Kraftwerk-like rhythms on “Unrequited” and “Maradona”; and hood themes rub against gentrification reality on “Yebo”. It’s a seamless listen that delivers a joyous vibe from beginning to end.
