Introducing a creative Rap force to be reckoned with – Summer Solow and Nissi Nicole launch an anthemic and addictive new sound, with the gritty confidence and sharp wordplay of Dead Image.
Uniting the weighty bass and clarity of classic Hip Hop with Trap rhythms and fast-paced bars, Dead Image Vol 1 grips listeners for its visual performance and structural impact united.
Certain lines repeat and pierce through the warped soundscape to act as unignorable ear-worms, ‘It’s just talking’ resounds as a fine example, ultimately securing the memorable tone and presence of the release within the current Rap scene.
For Dead Image Vol 2, story and detail take the reigns a little more, poetic metaphors and captivating verses drawing attention from the outset, with both Nissi Nicole and Summer Solow offering up the very best of their contemplative, clever writing and faultlessly rhythmic flows.
Again produced with a subtle balance between yesteryear Hip Hop and contemporary trap, Dead Image Vol 2 adheres to the style incited by Vol 1, yet simultaneously weaves in a refreshingly creative lyrical depth – and another poetic, simple yet striking hook to resolve it all.
Artistically-rooted and clearly relevant at every step, the whole Dead Image release encapsulates the work of a pair of creatives devoted to the purpose and integrity of a particular story and sound.
As such, this short EP proves a welcomed twist of identity and intrigue within the modern Hip Hop landscape. Collaboration is key, and Dead Image speaks volumes on behalf of that.
