JULiA LEWiS ft. Rexx Life Raj & Guapdad 4000 – Outta Pocket

An enigmatic producer who uses live instrumentation, electronic sounds, and jazz theory to imbue his instrumentals with a warm musicality, Berkeley’s JULiA LEWiS (aka Benjamin Falik) is the go-to producer for the sophisticated side of Bay Area rap. Contrasting soft vibes and easy listening electric piano with overdriven bass and knocking drums, JULiA LEWiS celebrates the independent hustle on “Outta Pocket.” The single features a star turn from frequent JULiA LEWiS collaborator Rexx Life Raj, who strings together two tongue-in-cheek verses about the pros and cons of funding your own artistic career and delivers a sweetly sung hook, and a gleefully mischievous 16 from Oakland native Guapdad 4000. Premiered by L.A. Leakers, “Outta Pocket” is a bright and invigorating track, complete with a sense of humor and a playful array of counter-melodies.

“Outta Pocket” is the latest in a strong series of singles for JULiA LEWiS, following the Yung Pinch & Larry June-featuring “Living Fast Sleeping Slow,” and “Pink and Blue,” which features appearances from Bosco, Duckwrth, and Jay Ant. Stay tuned for a new EP by JULiA LEWiS, coming soon.
