During the latter half we get to appreciate the reverb-soaked, atmospheric presentation of a dreamy guitar loop, and a touch of Caban’s own affinity with afrobeats, modern rap and world music flavours.
Hip Hop
Introducing a musically exuberant album, from a rapper and songwriter with a uniquely recognisable voice in both story and sound.
UK hip hop at its most chill and intense united – Prime Sinister delivers a nostalgic anthem, overflowing with snappy wordplay and sharp rhymes.
Strong vocal rhythm holds tight to attention as Chris Skylark and Kayy Ellis go hard with their bars, for Pimpin.
Following the release of his breakthrough EP Prototype from 2022, Atlanta artist Trabajarie continues to reach an expanding audience, not least of all with the project’s opening track Moon Bootz.
Riding high on the strength of an immediately stylish, oriental-style riff, alongside a mellow yet crisp rhythm and rap clarity, Chef Porter crafts a classic anthem of character and appeal.
Piano-led soulful vibes meet with mellow spoken-word bars, as rapper and artist $leepy.blvd gets melodic and thoughtful, with FEEL A WAY.
Versatility and identity united are strengths throughout the musically interesting and story-loaded album – an aptly-titled project that feels like a devoted ode to personal truth and soulful conviction.
Intensely heavy bass and experimental trap tones back up the distantly soulful contemporary vocals of DENIS-ROW, as his thirteen-track hip hop album ABOV33RROR hits the scene.
Bringing together the carefree confidence of hip hop with the unmistakable mainstream appeal of quirky pop production and recognisable threads.
Adding Up stands out for its production, character and structure all combined. The current scene calls out for creativity, originality, and this track brings both nostalgia and identity in strong supply.
Uniquely fusing electronic rock tones with a marching rhythm and raw vocal rap mix, Young Italiano freestyles with rhythm and confidence, for BOOMERANG.
