“Better Daze” blends Handsome Tiger’s decolonized bass aesthetic with a global club foundation—fusing three-step kick patterns, reggaeton backbeats, dubstep subs, log drums, and his signature powwow drum hits and Indigenous vocal samples.
The track is elevated by the legendary MC prowess of Swordman Kitala, whose energetic flow brings powerful presence and movement to this genre-bending collaboration.
