Invalid is the first single and the title-track from Australian rapper and poet Defron, taken from his debut EP due for release next month. The song is produced by friend and New York based producer Bottega Beretta and features cuts from Perth based producer and DJ, Rob Shaker. Defron calls the single “a parody and a battle-cry, satirising the braggadocio formula of boom-bap bangers whilst simultaneously celebrating them”.
Shot and edited by Steven Maclean, the video for the EP title-track sees Defron unleashed in the industrial side of Yarraville, Victoria where he runs rampant through abandoned paint mills and dilapidated warehouses, whilst his lyrics and references are brought to life on the screen via custom animation from Melbourne illustrator, Joshua Trotter.
