Introducing a return to the roots of hip hop, with contemporary production and trap rhythms adding an essential contemporary edge, the UK’s own Bugz delivers a late-night anthem that’s simple yet striking.
Coming in at a brief yet effective two-minutes sixteen, Hack The Streets follows an easy melodic riff, heavy bass and trap rhythm, alongside cleanly-mixed rap vocals and a story focused on the climb and reality united.
The flow is mellow yet versatile throughout, keeping things interesting while the beat rolls on – indicating an artist with a clear skill for captivating on the mic.
Minimalism draws attention to the voice here, the overall groove instantly recognisable, that leading vocal or central protagonist injecting a worthy twist of character to move things along. No doubt the tone and identity of the sound will ring loud across future releases.
Already boasting over a quarter of a million streams on Soundcloud alone, the scene is ideally-suited for this kind of release right now, and the simplicity and confidence combined make sure to highlight a rapper who most probably has plenty more music on the way.
