After the release of the critically acclaimed They
DonÆt Seem to CareEP, Wordsmith launches his eagerly
anticipated album In Pursuit of Harmony on Def Ethics
recordings. With impressive integrity, style and
perception, this is an outstanding body of work.
Introspective lyricism combined with raw presence and
charisma perfected over a decade, mark Wordsmith out
as a British MC with heart and passion.
In this superb 18 track album he works alongside the
UKÆs finest hip-hop producers and underground MCÆs,
sculpting a comprehensive collection of his finest
music to date. Beat makers Chemo, Show n Prove, Ido,
Apatight and Caruana provide a wide variety of solid,
rolling instrumental tracks. WordsmithÆs variety of
themes and rhyming styles shine as individual
production styles complement each other across the
album, seamlessly returning to the classic boom-bap of
hip-hop music.
If you were looking for a whoÆs who of UK hip-hop you
need to go no further. This is a truly impressive
cast, featuring MCÆs Dubbledge, Dr Syntax, Orifice
Vulgatron, Skriblah Dan Gough, SuparNovar, Genesis
Elijah, Metropolis and Micall Parkinsun and showcasing
the up and coming talent of London-based Big Ben.
Both sides of Wordsmiths notorious, roadman, character
battle it out in The Pursuit of Harmony. The wit and
perception of the æLightÆ takes on the street smarts,
drug use and violent tendencies of the æDarkÆ in a
biographical tale of hardship, determination and the
will to survive. The two 12? releases from the album
display the head to head conflict, each with its own
tone and character, the questioning They DonÆt Seem to
Care Ep versus The Bad Guy, an all out banger, each a
benchmark release for the future.
Very rarely do you see a more complete collection of
music from a UK hip-hop artist! This is undoubtedly
the most exciting release from the underground this
year and sets Wordsmith apart from the rest of the
crowd. Focussed on big things in the future watch out
for Wordsmiths coalition!
The coalition features big ben, genesis elijah, micall
parknsun, dubbledge, ahmos, supar novar & diamond ruff
