Backed by the enticing melodic twang of Middle Eastern strings and tribal rhythms, the UK’s own wyless man shines new light on the future of Drill music, with short and concise bars, and a generally minimalist yet memorable flow.
Emerging complete with a set of trippy visuals depicting the UK rap scene energy at its more carefree, Forklift is a simple yet striking track, focused on the moment for its heavy beat, riff work and the anthemic nature of that hook. wyless man delivers with intensity and grit, but it’s also mellow, laid-back, perhaps quietly bold.
You only need to hear Forklift once to recognise it the second time around. wyless man keeps things easy-going yet effective, chilled-out yet hardy in its confidence and rhythmic devotion to the mix; possibly an effective ode to his own troubled background, and the subsequent strength and overcoming of his character.
The whole thing feels familiar yet fresh in equal though subtle doses. An underground artist with a haunting overtone to his unique sound and style.
“This ain’t the end of my story…”
