Aleksey Weintraub (born July 15, 1985), better known by his stage name Lakutis, is a Russian American rapper from New York.[3] He has collaborated with Das Racist,[4] Hot Sugar,[5] and Kitty.[6] He has also toured with Le1f and Antwon.[7]

Career

In 2011, Lakutis released a 7-track EP, I'm in the Forest.[8] In 2012, he released "Hey Ma, Wassup", a collaborative single with Big Baby Gandhi, Cutty Carmichael, and DVS.[9] Spin listed him as one of the "5 Best New Artists for May 2013".[10]

In 2014, Lakutis released a 12-track mixtape, Three Seashells.[11] It included productions from Hot Sugar, Black Noise, and Steel Tipped Dove,[12] as well as a guest appearance from DVS.[13] Stereogum listed it as the "Mixtape of the Week".[14]

Style and influences

Zach Kelly of Pitchfork commented that "Lakutis' real strong suit is the way he raps, punctuating words with a visceral intensity usually reserved for the frontman of a hardcore band, his flow almost functioning as a percussive element."[15]
