COOL REBEL TUESDAY continues, another epic indie hit from the American rap force SC4REAL. The Interview brings a quirky old-school bassline and hi-hat combination, with tripped rhythms and that clean-cut vocal depth again drawing you in to the centre of a creative free-flow that’s grounded but playful.
SC4REAL blends genres with subtlety and charm, achieving a sense of freestyle rap but one that’s just rhythmic enough to impress for its awareness and versatility in holding steadfast to this groove.
Plenty of space, instrumental adlibs and refrains, all pours through for just over a minute and a half. It’s a brief track, a song of focus and intimacy but also confident and unpredictable enough to keep you engaged. And the second time that chord pattern, these retro synths and their echo, kick into the space, The Interview is instantly recognisable.
SC4REAL and COOL REBEL TUESDAY is slowly but surely carving out an unmissable lane in modern hip hop. The Interview is comical, confident, distinct and cool, feeling almost like an eighties psychedelic fusion of genres, whilst offering some of SC4REAl’s sharpest references and bars, only in a chilled, carefree and calmly bold kind of fashion – classic traits of the natural and talented rapper and artist.
