‘Skittles’ is the eagerly awaited slick new single by BBC 1XTRA, KISS/ CAPITAL XTRA/ GRM daily rapper Baseman. The rolling beat produced by the multi-talented Louis Dutch gives Baseman the space to showcase his vocal talents, with lyrics which will be repeating in your mind all day. Baseman says, "I invited Louis Dutch to the session to hear some beats. I felt a vibe from the beat which changed the mood in the room. Suddenly everyone started to feel happy, from the engineer to the producer to the friend that came along to the studio session. Listening to the beat repeatedly, having a drink, everyone felt like they were floating and I wanted my vocals to add the finishing touches. Which in the end, I felt like I did"
