CRITICAL PRAISE FOR AWFUL SWIM:
“A lot of humor, a lot of personality…he represents a slice of Atlanta culturally and artistically that doesn’t get paid enough attention to.” – NPR Music
“The Atlanta rapper brings his deadpan flow and subversive sense of humor to some of the strongest production he’s had yet, yielding a refreshingly mischievous album” – Pitchfork
“His best project to date…his music [has] been refined; his humor and his earnestness, his charm and his sleaze, all operating in harmony. – Highsnobiety
“The Awful Records founder is launching himself back into the spotlight—and it’s about damn time. His signature raunchy-with-a-side-of-class aesthetic is on full display throughout the project…” – Complex
“His most focused effort yet” – Pigeons & Planes
[October 24, 2018] Today, Atlanta rapper/producer/artist Father releases the official video to “Only You” from his Awful Swim mixtape which was released earlier this fall via Awful Records/RCA Records. Click HERE to watch.
Shot in Atlanta, the “Only You” video is directed by reggie and produced by Avonni and follows Father as a wedding singer before he causes a raucous and steals the bride for a wild night with her and the bridal party.
Father recently wrapped his European leg of “The Private Show” Tour and will kick off the North American leg on November 2nd in Chicago. He will hit major cities including Toronto, New York and Los Angeles before wrapping on November 25th in Seattle. The full tour will feature direct support from fellow Awful Records duo Danger Incorporated. Tickets are on sale now. For more information and to purchase please visit: www.awfulrecords.com.

ABOUT FATHER:
If anyone could be called leader of the modern mess of a rap crew—Awful Records—it would be Father. He was an art school dropout who founded “Awful Media Group” as a video and branding service in Atlanta, later turning to music as an experiment.
He made an unlikely first breakthrough with stripped down anthems like “Nokia” and “Look At Wrist” in 2014. With the help of ILoveMakokonnen, Key!, and a slew of Awful Records’ artists, Father’s first project, Young Hot Ebony (2014), would mark the birth of what is known today as ‘Soundcloudrap’. Since then, he has carved himself out an independent sweet spot, having grown and maintained a core fan base with two more full-length projects: Who’s Gonna Get F*cked First? (2015) and I’m A Piece of Sh*t (2016).
