'Used To' by Who Cried Wolf?


Who Cried Wolf? is a Scottish alternative rap/rock duo made up of lead vocalist Deezy, who has dabbled in various genres, most recently writing on a house track for Idris Elba's 7Wallace record label. The other member of the duo is producer RJ Cherry who has also worked across multiple genres gaining production credits with platinum selling recording artists and global brands. This song was created after lead vocalist Deezy found out that a close relative was terminally ill, being creative during this time acted as some form of coping mechanism. “Used To” is about realising life is short and regretting squandering missed opportunities and is the first of many the duo has recorded together.

Who Cried Wolf? has been collaborating on and off for the past decade under various aliases after bonding initially over a mutual love of American rap groups such as Mobb Deep and Dipset. But the Who Cried Wolf? project albeit still having a strong hiphop influence, was influenced just as much by the polar opposite end of the musical scale such as guilty pleasure guitar pop and forgotten 80s & 90s one hit wonders, in particular music that sounds upbeat but often has a dark meaning to the lyrics. "Happy sad sh*t” as Deezy puts it



 “Used To” is the first single release by “Who Cried Wolf?” 

Available on all digital download services.
