You can look, yet it won’t be a basic errand to track down local lyricism as skilful, shrewd or significant than when Melanin 9 is favoring a mic. His work of art, must-have Magna Carta LP was expressively unrivaled, and lightyears in front of it’s Roc-a-Fella subsidiary when it dropped last year; and after numerous months enjoyed working with Triple Haziness, April sees M9 join powers with London-based mark Dulled Space explorer to drop a selective new performance single. Talismans is one more melodiously profound, elaborately rich cut from the author’s productive pen. The adequacy of M9’s conveyance lies in his capacity to ignite your natural craving to learn. By making explicit reference to verifiable, profound and mysterious subjects through his far-reaching jargon; he treats the audience with a scholarly regard that a couple of MCs figure out how to pull off without sounding pompous; ‘I visited the globe as a phantom of my spirit’s means, doused in chilly sweats underneath a freezing cloud, feelings left covered in uncertainty, blowing nostalgic things from cosmic discernments, compelled to look detestable’s appearance as I dance in the storm.’ The Highest point’s instrumental encompasses conventional beat production yet adds an adequate number of present-day components to guarantee their interpretation of blast bap stays current; and as thick horns support DJ Ping’s tune chops, the snare makes certain to be one of the catchiest you’ll hear from the underground this year.
Cloudsteppa looks back to the MC’s mixtape days as he pens exact lines over DJ Beverages’ claustrophobic instrumental; streaming quick yet intelligent as he transfers his interesting viewpoint through a dominance with words; ‘Suffocate your harmonies like Galactus, the Moorish smithy, with planets circling my chakras.’ Lewis Parker spits with his typical cool disposition; dropping metaphors and old-school film and television references like most rappers drop F-bombs; leaving Variety Music’s Vinyldigger to close the melody with short wounds of static changed by his crossfader. Parker’s Cloudsteppa Remix outperforms the first, unwinding this blockhead discharge as his SP puts out dusty drum circles and tests that reenact old criminal investigator films. Special necklaces without a doubt merit a spot in your assortment; with bounty more to come from the Triple Haziness camp, and his 2007 début High Devotion set for a vinyl-0nly re-discharge in May; 2014 turned out to be one more vital year for this profoundly gifted MC.
