2Kean – 'Somebody That I Used To Know' (Dear Hip Hop)
2Kean vents on his promotional-use-only snippet taken from the up and coming CD - Searching for Kurt Cobain. The sample doubles as the subconscious voice to the core message plus a pinch of Indie spice to the mix which goes down well with the palate. Balanced without measurement it simply works and not by a flukes chance either. Soak it up, non-diluted version and absorb everything. AYEBRO's number one. #DearestCulture
Derty Sesh feat. Cavell – 'Change Around'
MTC collaborations are in affect. Sesh & Cavell marry up to create some new music fresh off the mastering desk. Not reserved for anything specific other than to be enjoyed, if it tickles your fancy. Here we have a how-it-is attitude of a song touching on the pressures and expectations associated with the lifestyle, none by choice too. The fixated point though is what attraction remains if the fame was withdrawn from the equation? AYEBRO's number two. #GroupieLove
Godmode – 'Untitled'
The Heavy Metal back drop would provide enough intensity alone. No definitive verse or structure surfaces from what I would describe to be a passage of lines consecutively linking in to one another. The patterns are almost unmirrored making Godmode a prime example of a trending lyricist. The naive could easily receive this to be a monstrous medley of a mess, so don’t be that – Simple. AYEBRO's number three. #RapMash
Neesh – 'Hang 'Em Up'
Expect neck whiplash and a noggin injury once the beat drops. The robotic dial tone boosts the rhythm to a heightened level, nothing to pyshcotic. Multi-double-kicker raps sound like a row of domino-needles attached to a style-o-meter indicator. Fun through a pop-produced microscope only determines that not everyone will be so convinced or impressed equally by this joint. Its in key, be it auto-tuned – On song, perhaps not your favorite one. AYEBRO's number four. #ClubFunk
True – 'Your's Truely'
Off his Sad but True mixtape which is due out soon illustrates how candid True can be when it comes to the lyrics. Continuing with that statement they'll never be a sense of far-fetched word play or tongue twisted blabbery felt on this track, but it requires – No, demands your attention. See Rap through his eyes with no prejudice, what you hear is what you get – Period. AYEBRO's number five. #TheTruth
