Collaboration breeds a whole new creative pulse. Tracy Grimm and bgboi encapsulate the freedom and strength of that fact, with the seven original tracks of their brand new album 4 Years Later.
Blending the emo rap and hip hop backgrounds that both artists bring to the scene, Irish rapper Tracy Grimm and rising star bgboi deliver the very best of their storytelling and vocal charm, with the revelations and engaging soundscapes of this project.
4 LIFE is a dramatic and enthralling opener – soulful guitar fragments and a heavy groove meeting contemporary emo vocals of both melody and rap, for a story that instantly invites late night escapism.
After this, however, 10K is quick to inject a heavy metal backdrop, securing that eclecticism and artistic freedom that is born of such a collaboration. And yet, even with these stylistic shifts and explosions, the voices and stories, the rhymes and the playfulness, all remains recognisable.
From the dark to the intense to the smooth and higher-octane, the album has a little of it all, but maintains its integrity and personality along the way – a crucial backbone for the journey that is 4 Years Later.
