DJ Haram bluntly describes her forthcoming debut album, Beside Myself, as “a testament to the survival of the spirit as an artist reckoning with the present global hellscape.” Unlike some of her more club-oriented tunes, “Fishnets” is a certified in-your-face, bar-laced cut.

Co-produced by underground rap enigma August Fanon—known for his work with Mach-Hommy, AKAI SOLO, and Armand Hammer, amongst other affiliated rap auteurs—the track is a leftfield boom-bap piece charged with a sense of urgency. BbyMutha and SHA RAY each deliver confrontational verses packed with double entendres like, “eat a bitch up like Eve / snake in the garden can’t trick me.” As for the track itself, it’s swimming in electro-acoustic instrumentation, Arabic violins, and rumbling bass, which swirl the song into a restless, theatrical mood. It nods to the past while bracing for the future.
