Extraterrestrial emcee Spaceman has dropped visuals for newest single “CRANKY. (Produced by Manny McPlanes and Directed by Timmy Price Film), Spaceman seethes with frustration and strong words for the fakers out there. As the artist states, “Cranky is a song about frustration with performative culture. People who claim identities that they don’t embody, whether that’s toughness, wisdom, status, or artistic originality, or as the track says, “These niggas don’t stand for what they say they stand for.”

This is the first new single from Spaceman since his massive “Social Skills” series of singles which dropped throughout last year. That series was focused on stepping out of his solo work and collaborating with artists that he respects. These artists included ABGOHARD, Fatboi Sharif, Kyle Rapps and Jus-P as well as producers K3Mal, The Suspect Allegedly and Escada.
