SKAIWATER IS POST-EVERYTHING.

Four years ago, @azothism broke big with their 2022 single “#miles,” which catapulted the Nottingham native to viral highs and major label deals. To another rapper, this might have been a happy ending — for The FADER’s latest cover star, it’s been a turbulent prologue to their current era as an independent artist, fighting against rap purists, gender norms, and industry standards to push hip-hop forward. “Bro, it's a group of kids changing how we listen to this type of music. People just gotta get with it or get left.”

skaiwater opened up about their childhood, being friends with Lil Nas X, their nonbinary identity, and leaving the major label system in a new interview with @perlucidum for the cover of The FADER.

"We weren't trying to be rebellious or think outside the box. We simply wanted to be true to ourselves and put our own colors into the album."

When VERNON and THE 8 of SEVENTEEN started making music together last year, they weren't trying to reinvent what a K-pop project could be. But with the help of Mechatok, Robb Roy, KIRARA, and more, they sort of did with 'V8.'

The FADER interviewed THE 8 and VERNON alongside Mechatok, KIRARA, and more about their hyper-collaborative new project.
