So far, Tony Bontana has been having a pretty good 2025. Hot on the heels of his acclaimed record TUMPIT, he presents a new single, “Blood Type,” that continues his streak. The British rapper has an elastic, experimental style, informed by punk and underground rap, in which the borders between genres become blurry and the vocals are both loose and tight at the same time. It’s a go for fans of Earl, Dean, or Dizzie. “Blood Type” is under two minutes and utilizes a mysterious 80s digi-soul loop as the vehicle for emotional bar after emotional bar. The track is the first thing Bontana has cooked up for his next record—it’s cool to see creative motion unfolding in real time.
