A collaboration between Sydney’s Phi11a, and renowned US producer, Jimmy Duval (XXXTentacion, Lil Pump, Ski Mask the Slump God and Rich The Kid), ‘Sad Cowboy Shit’ is a 4-track mixtape recorded at Duval’s home studio in the Hollywood Hills and came about after Duval heard the young rapper’s work and was keen to link up.
After three nights of sunset to sunrise sessions, the duo had pushed each other to their creative limits, with tracks ranging from the hard-hitting ‘Back Up’ and “How You Been’ to the deep and introspective ‘Different Now’. From every angle you look at it, the mixtape stands as a statement of the closing gap between the US and Australian hip-hop.
