Fatboi Sharif
New Jersey's surrealist rap horror-show — gothic, hilarious, unforgettable, verses that play like fever dreams narrated with total calm.
Fatboi Sharif is a rapper from Rahway, New Jersey, working in a strain of underground hip-hop that borrows heavily from horror imagery and surrealism. His verses are dense with grotesque detail, film references and non-linear imagery, delivered in a low, deliberate voice that tends to stay flat while the writing gets stranger.
He has released a run of collaborative projects with individual producers, including Gandhi Loves Children with Roper Williams and Decay with Steel Tipped Dove, both built on abrasive, off-kilter beats. The work sits alongside a wider East Coast experimental rap scene, and Sharif is known for the deadpan humour that runs underneath the more nightmarish material.
