Rizzle Kicks Announces New Album “Competition is for Losers”, Shares New Song “New Sport”
British hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks, consisting of Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule, has announced their upcoming third studio “Competition is for Losers” will be released on February 14, 2025 via BMG.
The album is their first project in 12 years since the 2013 album Roaring 20s” and comprises 14 songs.
Jordan Stephens said of the album, “We allude to the fact that we acted off the cultural encouragement and the reality of the time. I think now we'd like to believe that we've distanced ourselves from those just through experience.”
He added, “Not in a prescriptive way. But more like we did a lot of crazy stuff, but now we don't”, and paternity: “not just with Harley becoming a father and all the growth that comes with that role, but also in a larger sense as we get older we feel a responsibility to share our wins and our failures.”- From the album, the duo released a new song “New Sport” on November 8, 2024.
The song is the third single off of the album, following “Javelin” and “Gumdrops”.
It was written by Harley Sulé, Jordan Stephens, Peter Hill, Timothy Wells, and Alexander Wells who also produced the track.
The accompanying music video was directed by Earthboi.
Earthboi said of the video, “Rizzle Kicks were an early part of my childhood and their resurgence, still as icons was something I really wanted to capture. In the search of crafting iconicity, which largely speaks to their upcoming project, I stumbled upon a series of images of Basquiat and Warhol posed as athletes. I felt like this image fully encompasses the idea of art as a 'new sport'.” - source : Apple Music
