Baker Boy Releases New Track With Dallas Woods & Sampa The Great

"I’m glad Baker Boy feels like he can actually express this element of himself."

North East Arnhem Land-born, Melbourne-based rapper Baker Boy has teamed up with longtime collaborator Dallas Woods and Sampa The Great for his new single, Better Days.

Despite being written in 2019, the new track’s honesty and hopefulness makes it more timely than ever. Check it out below.

“The whole studio time we had was amazing. The first time, seeing Sampa actually perform in the recording session, I got a surprise when she started singing,” Baker Boy said.

“She’s got an amazing voice. I’ve always listened to her rap and to hear her sing, it was a whole other level. In the first part of Sampa’s verse, she’s rapping in language too, that inspires me as well.”

Sampa The Great added: “Our common ground is bringing our cultures to the forefront in what is the mainstream right now.

“That’s something that I always saw and always admired in both Baker Boy and Dallas, and something I wanted to do for myself. Sometimes we put so much strain on artists, that they are even afraid to grow. I’m glad Baker Boy feels like he can actually express this element of himself. He doesn’t have to be one thing and that’s really beautiful.”

It’s been a big year for Baker Boy, who recently appeared on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater remaster soundtrack after winning big at the 2020 National Indigenous Music Awards.
