Scottish rapper and artist TEKKY hits hard both musically and on the mic, with the launch of his gritty and impactful new single Hack It.
Featuring a classically heavy hip hop beat and haunting operatic vocal loop, the presentation of Hack It is instantly distinct – clearly inspired by the conscious and cleanly-mixed rap of era’s past, but undoubtedly recognisable for both the production and the unmistakable tone and character of TEKKY’s voice.
The hook is also a huge part of what ties together these threads of identity – a repeating and rhythmic sentiment that resolves the intensity of the verse stories and effectively leaves its flow and idea lingering once the music has ended.
Ultimately a story of self-preservation and overcoming, Hack It acts as something of a realistic ode to struggle and a motivational anthem all at once. The release features a confident and cutting downpour of bars, clever wordplay, and genuine reflections on the climb united throughout the sheer energy and faultless flow of the delivery.
There’s plenty to pause and replay, great moments of metaphor and consciousness combined throughout a brief yet striking performance. And always we return to the addictive flow and pace of the hook.
TEKKY aims high and hits the mark with this release. The beating heart of authentic hip hop, a real story, real swagger and character all intertwined amidst a distinct and original beat. I look forward to hearing more.
