WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We can't seem to get IKON's latest future-pop single 'What U Need' out of our head. The catchy new song is the perfect pick me up to any mood, guaranteed. The catchy vocal production mixed with simple but catchy vocal sample chops and a production style that's beautifully simplistic, you can't help but fall more and more in love after every listen. 

DJ/Producer IKON teamed up with Chicago based rapper Kali Skrap to deliver this radio hit. IKON's last release 'HXTBXX' dropped last month and already accumulated over 130K+ streams on Spotify. It looks like IKON is gearing up to secure his summer anthem takeover with 'What U Need' and we can't wait to hear more.
