Juicy

A search-engine query for the terms »Juicy« and »GHB« will lead you either to the darker corners of the internet, or to the wild web world of Belgian rap. Juicy is Julie Rens and Sasha Vovk, and their song »GHB« is a decidedly serious one, even though its accompanying video could hardly be more colourful. It’s about the drug that comes in droplets, more precisely about the men who use it to rape women. »GHB« is not the only song on their debut EP, »Cast a Spell,« that makes such clear-cut statements. Actually, that’s exactly what the duo does in all of its tracks, influenced by 90s R&B and contemporary hip-hop. The fact that Rens and Vovk can wrap reckonings of body-shaming and bro culture in bright colours and humour makes them all the more impressive.
