With Tenfold Records as the launchpad, this Auckland-based rapper and producer is gearing up for his upcoming EP, 'BRAIN (Side A),' and "BUGGIN" serves as the electrifying second single.

WHO SHOT SCOTT is pushing boundaries, paying homage to funk legends like Parliament-Funkadelic and Sly & The Family Stone, and proving that innovation knows no bounds. Lyrically, he delves into the depths of vulnerability, tackling themes of paranoia and cynicism.
In his own words, "Paranoia and cynicism are two of the most difficult challenges I deal with. I often find myself distrusting of people who may pose as 'friends' while potentially having ulterior motives. While saying that, this song is me acknowledging that these insecurities may just be a defense mechanism that I've conjured up to protect myself - No one is out to get me, it's not that big of a deal, I am indeed... Bugging."
