Yes lazy Sundays. Aren’t you a lucky bunch? Whilst you sit there in your pants eating your Sunday dinner, we’re busy at work finding you some of the best underground hip-hop from all over to bless your little ears with. Hey, life could be a lot worse!
This afternoon we were pointed in the direction of DJ Bunty & Zayn’s new joint “The Birth” by the boys over at Standup Recordz. I hate to sound like a bit of fangirl, but Standup have really upped their game and as yet I have yet to listen to an artist they’ve put out that isn’t a solid addition. This track is no different. The production is heavy and whilst sometimes horns can sound cheesy and plastic, they perfectly compliment the scratching’s trickery. The production as a whole has a really warm bass and it instantly made the song catchy as Hell.
MC wise, I’ll admit I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for the old Scottish accent but that being said it doesn’t win points with me. Luckily for Zayn the boy doesn’t need to rely on my bias, ’cause he’s got a smooth and original flow that lends itself to the style of MCs that rap from the top half of their bodies. It’s calm and well rehearsed, the rhymes aren’t obvious and not always necessary. If this is a single pick from the album that I’m backing it. You should too.
