Peckham-born artist Sam Akpro has joined forces with ANTI- to unveil his collar-grabbing new single "Death By Entertainment".
"Death By Entertainment" follows on from his subversive second EP Arrival. Speaking of its origins, he explains: "This song is about the numbing feeling of repeating the same day again and again, and how we entertain ourselves to death just to get through it - an easy cop-out from actually thinking or changing a situation".
"Death By Entertainment" is out now via ANTI-. Sam Akpro is set to perform at Pitchfork Festival Paris on 9 November. For more information, visit pitchforkmusicfestival.fr.
