The spelling alone tells you this isn’t taking itself too seriously, and OBS3SS3D W U is all the better for it. IKU makes the kind of melodic trap that lives on the border of hyperpop, glitchy and bright and unafraid of a big, sugary vocal. The whole track is built around a chopped-up love-song sample that gets more mangled every time it comes around, until by the final drop it’s barely words at all, just texture. The drop at 1:15 is where it clicks, a skittering, detuned mess that somehow resolves into something you can actually move to. This is internet music in the purest sense, made by and for people who grew up with a hundred browser tabs open and no attention span left. It should be exhausting and it’s weirdly charming instead. I keep coming back to that mangled vocal, which is the sign of a producer who knows the difference between busy and cluttered. Not everything has to be deep. Sometimes a track just wants to be a very good time, and this one succeeds.
