Get Your Buzz Up #1 Site for Unsigned/Indie/Underground Hip Hop
Two of the most-respected names in UK Hip Hop have teamed up to show that it is not soft to spit positivity with the release of the ‘CT Scan’ E.P. Edinburgh-based MC Conscious Route and award-winning West Midlands rapper Trademark Blud deliver 5 tracks of thought-provoking music with a rugged, street-savvy edge.
Having come out swinging, things take a more mellow turn with the dub-tinted ‘Iron Sparkz,’ but don’t let the relaxed production lull you into a false sense of security as the wordplay still rocks hard. ‘Validate’ sees TechOne switch the beats to a dark, brooding, boom-bap backdrop as Trademark Blud and Conscious Route bring a lyrical depth to match. With all the feel of a sure-shot club heater, ‘Crank’ drops like a megaton bomb as grime-influences ring through and the two MCs bring skill showcasing rhymes that will have you hitting rewind.
The collection is rounded off with ‘Illusions,’ a strong politically-minded slice of UK hip-hop as Conscious Route and trademark Blud show it can be cool to be conscious – with a street-smart attitude.
