Kraken Up
Kraken Up is a song by the Squid Squad.
Description
Kraken Up is, like most Squid Squad songs, a fast-paced rock song with prominent drums and guitar. The song mostly features singing to accompany the backing instruments but also includes some short instrumental sections on synthesiser, the latter of which is played alongside the vocals. This is followed by a rap section with slightly stripped-back instruments which plays twice before the first sung line is played again and the song loops. It can also be heard in Squid Beatz.

Etymology
