Baileys Brown drops sci-fi b-movie to accompany the spine-chilling trap of “Something Else Entirely”

Producer Baileys Brown enlists emcees Dabbla and Lee Scott to spit on the eerie sci-fi love letter “Something Else Entirely”.

To celebrate the launch of his new album Still Fresh, producer/emcee Baileys Brown drops the wavy, trap-inflected “Something Else Entirely”, featuring Blah Records head honcho Lee Scott and smirking North London rapper Dabbla.

Whilst the track's spiral of creepy laughter and tolling church bells feels pretty ominous, Scott and Dabbla take the edge off with some creature feature-themed japes (standout line: “Robocop can't sign into his email – the CAPTCHA knows.”) The video – co-directed by Scott and Dabbla – brings the track's theramin-peppered palette to life, with the pair playing, respectively, a deranged scientist and his mutinous robot. In classic bad horror fashion, the camera work is shaky, the costumes are laughable and the schlock is turned up to 11.

Asked to comment on the track, Baileys explained to Best Fit: “I made this beat in a dungeon surrounded by men who had lost all faith in humanity. Luckily, my long time lab collaborator Bew Bonik (the other half of Dedw8) was on hand to help me dig the tunnel and escape that forsaken place.” Co-director Dabbla says the video was always going to be a “b-movie sci-fi thriller which captured the struggle between man and machine, and portrayed the love/hate relationship between creation and its creator. It was all going well for the robot until he realised he wasn’t the first creation, then he switches on his father figure/God and the chase is on. Luckily for the professor – and in true non-sensical b-movie fashion – a badass space alien queen appears out of nowhere and destroys the robot... or does she?”

Baileys Brown's debut album Still Fresh is out now. Find Baileys on Instagram.
