Debut release from a new Essex based label. ‘The Competition’ slinks along with a dominating but still sublime orchestral string loop. Calm verses are spat across this multi layered but relaxed arrangement to make a well-rounded but slightly understated track. This track needs a rougher texture to fully grab your attention. However, the flipside signals a slightly harder musical approach with ‘The Pretender’ containing an absolutely killer piano loop – a really infectious head nodding piece of production. The lyrics are again delivered in a calm soothing manner – but this perfectly matches the well-balanced melodious hook to create a cracking track. Overall, a creative first release with two high quality slices of smooth as silk homegrown hiphop.
