“I Love Unserious Music”: Atlanta Rapper Kuntfetish Tells Us What’s on Repeat

This is SOUND ADVICE, a weekly destination for playlists curated by Interview’s friends, enemies, and lovers. Over the past few weeks, we’ve gathered playlists from Somewhere Special, Rosalía, and Amar Ediriwara. This week’s installment comes to you from Atlanta’s “emo Mona Lisa,” Kole Kimbro, better known to fans as Kuntfetish. After reaching TikTok viral status for her shape-shifting style and chaotic vlogs, this past year the underground princess landed a video vixen stint in Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills” and an irreverent verse on Doechii’s “GTFO.” Now, on her latest mixtape, KLUBFETISH, her brazenly gay bars meet bubblegum trap beats by NYC club king Chicken. In this exclusive playlist, Kuntfetish takes us on a feel-good journey from Detroit rap to the Deftones, all while telling us her favorite sound effect and Buzzballz flavor of choice.

Who do you trust most with the aux? My bitch Armani and me only.

What song do you have on repeat? “God Damn” by Skrilla and “Rabbit Hole” by chi.
