Sasha Go Hard & Tink, “Problem”

by Britt Julious

If you haven’t gotten into Chicago drill artists Sasha Go Hard and Tink, now would be the perfect time to start. On Sasha Go Hard’s latest single (produced by Tony Roche), the two have temporarily abandoned the drum-driven and sometimes cold-sounding aesthetic of the regional drill sound for this maximalist, sharp, and synth-heavy jam. What I love about both Sasha and Tink is their unabashed embrace of their youth — they’re 21 and 18 years old, and they’re fine with that. Here, it’s in full force: Sasha raps, “I’m coming up from the bottom. My mentality is fuck ‘em.” (Language NSFW, if that wasn’t already clear.)
