Max Wassen and Badjokes make your perfect dessert with Apple Sauce
With singles like “Japan” racking in over 2.5 million streams as well as a 7-track EP released over a year, Max Wassen truly adds something different to the Soave picture. The Canadian-born, Sweden-based rapper deftly straddles the line of lyrical depth and enticing playfulness, always performed over a bouncy electronic beat. This time, he invites Badjokes to produce a chirpy, synth-heavy track underlined by garage-inspired drums and memorable melodies. In the name of “Apple Sauce”, this tune may very well be just as sweet as the dessert you didn’t think you’d be craving at this time of day!
