Hazy New Moon
By
Ratty The Sly
The producer, DJ and Emcee from Scarborough is back with his
latest release on his own Rushed Rat Records, Hazy New Moon. I featured his
previous release Bad Weather back in 2022 and am eager to see what this latest release
has to offer.
So, let’s get into it…
There is an eerie quality to the sound on this one, with a
looped sample, piano and guitar backing a melodic drum beat and with the
inclusion of some faint nerve tingling cuts, it really brings a dark sound,
reminiscent of being all alone in the woods, as high clouds bring a hazy
quality to the new moon. It’s like a cleverly crafted Hip Hop audible found
footage vibe, where Ratty catches you at every turn with his lyrics; catching
you out with line after line of carefully chosen words to give you more of an
insight into who he is and the how’s and why’s of what he does. His vocal delivery
has a raw edge that is brought in such a way as to almost whisper in your ear
from behind every tree as you seek a way out of the dimly lit forest. Just as
it seems you have made it out, this mind-bending jazz-tinged sound hits you and
you begin to question it this is real or a dream, and if it is a dream, is it
your dream or Ratty’s dream invading your waking nightmare…
Hazy New Moon is one of those tracks that elicits different
vibes as you listen. On the one hand it has that found footage kinda vibe but,
on the other hand it is just an emcee dropping slick lyrics over a beat with a
dark edge, and it could take you to other places, where you question which
reality you are currently in.
A very cleverly crafted slice of Hip Hop that seems to cross
the veil between this world and the next. It’s not quite horrorcore but, it
definitely has that eerie quality about it. Would make a cracking soundtrack to
next year’s Halloween, that’s for sure.
Hazy New Moon is out on Digital, streaming and limited vinyl release too via Rushed Rat Records today, don’t let this one creep up on you…
I’m Out,
See Ya,
Steve
