Dunson Gets Introspective w/ New Track "Fatboy Slim"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

It’s been just about a year since Dunsonlast graced the pages of OKP, but the Baltimore emcee/producer/musician is back at it today. Dunson comes through with this deeply personal and plenty dope, self-produced track “Fatboy Slim.” Says Dunson:

Since it's Transformation Tuesday, I'm shooting over a very honest joint about why I lost 100lbs. It's entitled "Fatboy Slim"...The idea stems from people constantly asking me how I came down from 260+ lbs. So I sampled Camille Yarbrough's 'Take Yo' Praise' which is heavily sampled in Fatboy Slim's 'Praise You' from the 90s. The rest was automatic. It details how heartbreak and battles with self-image drove me to drastically change myself only to realize I lost my character. 

The song will appear on his upcoming project, OVERTHINKER, which is set to drop before the summer ends.
