I try to stay a bit away from the realism of life, that’s not what music should be, it’s should be about the beauty and magic of it.

SlickMick’s return at the hit of the new year brings a smooth and soulful hip hop track with a mellow energy and calming rhythm. yo im gettin on my lit shit is a simple track, the building blocks are easy going and colorful in a classic jazz-fusion fashion.
Utilizing less than two and half minutes, ☽$cY†HE drives with emotional urgency and soulful turmoil on this single. From the offset you can hear the pain in the vocal delivery and in the lyrics – the song details loss and desperation, the end of something that meant so much.
There’s something inherently laid back about this artist’s approach to rap and to music in general – his tone of voice is peaceful, soothing even, and many of his ideas seem uninhibited and free from concern, which furthers the effect.
The qualities are simply a fusion of absolute creativity, passionate expression, grit and emotion intertwined – the scene setting, the structure, the instrumentation; all of this stands tall on the Ekpyrosis EP.
All I want to do is fly as a central line offers a beautiful melody, somehow melancholic yet optimistic in the same instance – it’s a powerful moment that lingers in your mind long after listening.
K Tuck fascinates more and more so with each new listen, and this track is a must for the long term playlist. Hip hop is huge right now and things are getting more creative and more competitive – the bar needs to be high, and this kind of release works greatly in favour of that.
Tay Campbell sets the mood well with this latest single, offering a colourful yet calming soundscape, a mellow beat, and a string of smoothly soulful vocals that suit the overall vibe perfectly.
The lyrical outpourings actually seem like unedited streams of consciousness on occasion, which is all the more fascinating from a listening perspective.
Offering up a brilliant sense of togetherness, Way-Z and Trace The Kid collaborate on this single to give listeners a heartfelt and refreshingly optimistic piece of music and writing that inspires and energizes in the same quick swoop.
The whole thing has flair, it sounds great – immersive and reliable for anyone seeking out a classic, easy going hip hop playlist with a touch of depth to it.
Less important than the genre these days is the songwriting and what you put into it – how much of yourself you allow the music to present, how well structured it is, how easily it connects and entertains or lets an audience escape. You get a good balance of all of this with Cleaned Out.
