Just like many other Gen-Z rappers, Bakey is inspired by the trappings of the internet. But there’s a reason why the Belarus artist is an exciting talent: he operates both within and outside viral trends. While trap hi-hats are commonplace, Bakey’s music often borders on experimental hip-hop reminiscent of the LA beat scene as well as Southern US imprint Awful Records. He frequently incorporates electronic textures, taking his tracks anywhere from Eurodance to sparse witch house.
