Can we listen to something else? This is too hectic.
Hectic: a word that sums up Cappo and Styly Cees
latest collaborative outing, a limited pressing three
track slab of wax entitled The H-Bomb EP. H-Bomb:
another accurate term of description. This is
explosive, in the way that Public Enemy were on many
of their heaviest tracks; expect an ear-battering
session reminiscent of the rap releases of the late
80s.
In fact it draws together a few influences, some may
hear Rza and the Wu-Tang, some Rick Rubin and his many
MCs, some the Bomb Squad, some the Young MC-esque
releases of days gone by. Whatever it is you hear, its
bound to evoke nostalgia and in a climate of some
pretty lame, spiritless versions of Hip Hop, this is
more than a good thing. In a wistful way this is
invigorating.
Styly Cee does update the old sounds though, in many
ways the production here is mature and professional
compared to its roots - its suitable for this century
and is more than a re-hash of aged ideas. Cappo
harnesses the angst of street commentators both modern
and traditional, and with a Nottingham lilt he
supplies the necessary other half to Styly CeeÆs
weighty sonics.
As far as I know, and my knowledge has considerable
distance (but do correct me if Im wrong), no-one in
the UK is running things quite like this and the
ability to rise above the sea of sameness is
everything right now. Cappo and Styly Cee; we salute
you, for you rocked.
