Singer, songwriter, rapper, filmmaker, visual artist—Cruel Santino flexes all of his creative muscles on *Subaru Boys : FINAL HEAVEN*. Influenced by his love of anime, gaming, and exploring new soundscapes, the project fuses multiple story arcs into a sonic tale of war and glory. “ I wanted to make something more than just music,” he tells Apple Music; “something that when you hear it, you just think ‘Where am I; where are you taking me to?’ I had to create a world before I made the music. I feel like world building is kind of key when you want to make a sound; it makes you have no boundaries.” He’s joined on this epic narrative by a diverse range of guests including Skepta (“DIRTY EYES EVIL MANNERS”), Amaarae (“BORN AGAIN”), Koffee (“DEADMAN BONE”).
