Song Spotlight: Kwasi Stampley's I FK With You (a night at Hotel Ziggy) - wait for Nikki Hahn post

Singer and model Kwasi Stampley had the irresistible energy going at WFNM's showcase at Hotel Ziggy. It started from the very beginning of the set when his rock, rap, R&B fusion opening song had him switching between two guitars and hair whipping.

A significant portion of the WFNM crowd had come to catch Nikki Hahn (you can read my post about her set read) and had at this point drifted out into the hotel's lobby, but his engaging performance and catchy lyrical style brought them into the venue area. His band included his mentor Auntie on keys and EJ Mitchell on drums.

The song spotlight goes to "I FK WITH U." On the recorded version, he takes the Gen Alpha slang "Six Seven" and expands on it to start off the song. 

Five Six Seven Eight.

As for the live version, the band inserted an extended instrumental funk break that allowed the now drawn in crowd to dance. Seeing the crowd reaction, Stampley decided it was a good time to turn up the positivity by asking, "I want you all to bounce."

The song is about a person he really likes and is looking for hints of reciprocation.  

You know my heart is for the taking
Because of you, I'm f*cked up
My love is never breaking

Comment of the set: I'm having fun, now sing with me.
