Rivita & Asemahle – Love Again: Soul-Steeped Hip Hop

Posted on 16 September 2018

When it comes to collaborations, the synergy is either there or it isn’t. When the angelically harmonious vocalist Rivita chose to join forces with Asemahle a work of enigmatic enthrallment was created. It is no understatement to say that the two vocalists possess some of the most authentically unique styles we’ve heard this year. Pair that with the tentatively light piano melodies and soft kicks of the 808 beats which the down-tempo backbone of the track rests upon and you’re in for one captivating treat.

On top of that, it was infinitely refreshing to hear a Rap artist with a rhythmically perfect flow not following suit with the rest of the misogynistic rappers, instead he challenged the toxic lifestyle with an infinitely more soulful approach to his bars.

KUDO – Middle Fingers: Unapologetically Attitude-Driven Hip Hop

Posted on 14 September 2018

Middle Fingers is the debut single from the emerging EDM Pop Hip Hop artist KUDO. As the track unfolds, you’re treated to a mix which is as ingenious as it is explicit, the empowerment which is scribed into the lyrics of Middle Fingers is bordering on overwhelming. Even though the EDM Trap mix may not be prodigal by today’s standards KUDO’s vocal talents and ability to wax lyrical prove why this up and coming artist deserves attention for her resounding style. With a command of meter and rhyme as flawless as KUDO’s it’s hard to see how she couldn’t go far with her talent.

You can check out KUDO’s single Middle Fingers for yourselves by heading over to Spotify now. You probably won’t get the chorus out of your head for a fair few hours but if the ability to create an infectiously fresh chorus doesn’t make a good artist then I’m not sure what does.

BP – DISTANT LOVERS: Sensually Prodigal Hip Hop

Posted on 13 September 2018

It’s not all too often you’re faced with a Trap track that almost floors you through the sobering narrative of the lyrics. So, it’s my absolute pleasure to introduce BP.

DISTANT LOVERS is the latest single released by up and coming Hip Hop Rap artist BP. Anyone who has ever been in a long distance relationship is sure to feel the bite of the pensive vibe. The lyricism to the single is so heavy, it’s almost bruising, you can tell BP poured his soul into the mix to make the sentiment as resounding as the melodic beat. The kicks of the 808’s thrash against the ethereally light reverb which pours from the synth which leads you through the rhythm in the perfectly produced track.

If you’re looking for some sensuously prodigal Hip Hop to put on your playlists you can check out BP’s latest drop DISTANT LOVERS by heading over to YouTube now. Or to check out BP’s latest mixtape in full, head on over to SoundCloud
