Lucki Eck$ – Stevie Wonder (Feat. Chance The Rapper)

stevie

“Stevie Wonder” is the new Chicago-centric collaboration between FKA Twigs affiliate Lucki Eck$, Chance The Rapper, and producer Young Chop (Chief Keef’s “I Don’t Like”, etc). “Stevie Wonder” ebbs on a soporific wave of hazy production, whisper tracks and overall weightlessness of atmosphere that is rather powerful.
