Skrillex, Flowdan and Lil Baby Tip the Scoville Scale With Fiery Collaboration, “Pepper”

If music had a Scoville scale, Flowdan, Skrillex and Lil Baby's new song would be its Carolina Reaper.

A filthy, post-dubstep blend of trap and grime, "Pepper" is a track that bites back. From a production standpoint, it twists the knife into the contemporary Skrillex sound, a heady latticework of frenetic vocal chops and bass stabs you can feel in your bones.

"Pepper" finds Skrillex reuniting with renowned MC Flowdan, whose spitfire flow is sonic sriracha alongside smoldering verses from chart-topping rapper Lil Baby. Take a listen to the new collaboration below.

A historic Madison Square Garden rave and an unprecedented five-hour set at Red Rocks are just two highlights of 2023, the most prolific year of Skrillex's career.

The pioneering producer kicked off the year by dropping two new albums in as many days, Quest For Fire and Don't Get Too Close, before teasing another pair. Those are also expected to drop in 2023, but he has not yet confirmed release dates or titles.

And if past is prologue, fans will hear plenty of new music in the weeks ahead. Skrillex recently premiered "Push," a long-awaited collaboration with Hamdi and TAICHU, on Jyoty's radio show. Fans were then gobsmacked at Lost Lands, where INFEKT played a never-before-heard Skrillex record that turned back the clock to the dubstep icon's early work.
