UK Hip Hop Single Review
Full Battle Rhymer/Elemental – Iceski &
Merlin
First
things first, the cover is on some Full Metal Jacket vibe and expertly crafted,
in that movie poster theme, by MR.TIBBZ and EXILE. It is the first thing that
hits you about this release from Show and Prove Records and gives you feeling
that the vibe of this piece of wax is gonna hit harder than an M60 machine gun
at point blank range.
Full Battle Rhymer – begins rather calmly but, as your about to
sit back relax you ears are assaulted by a relentless volley of the hardest
beats, rhymes and scratches that I’ve heard in a while. Merlin provides
production of the most heart pounding artillery while DJ Tones and DJ Highfly
provide cuts of devastating cover fire. All this to back-up Iceski and Exile
who stroll into the Hip Hop battle field with Lyrical guns blazing. This track is
a statement to the competition and provides a line drawn in the dust. A line
that invites others to step up to and try their hand at taking on this
incredible musical force but, be warned they take no prisoners.
Elemental – Just when you thought it was safe to stick
you head out of cover our duo creep up behind you and unload a fresh clip.
Again the production pounds away at your ear drums while the cuts tear deep
into your soul. As you are lying there wondering what’s happening, Iceski is
loading the final bullet into the verbal gun, drawing back the hammer and
holding it to your temple, before slowly squeezing the trigger...
What we
have here is the closest thing to Hip Hops Expendables. Iceski & Merlin are
joined by Exile, DJ Tones and DJ Highfly and backed up by Whirlwind D and
MR.TIBBZ. This is a solid release from Show and Prove Records and one that
pushes the bar that little bit higher.
Anyone who
loves their Hip Hop will not be failed to be impressed by this banger and
believe me it’s a Banger plain and simple. It has everything from a couple of
blistering tracks to a stunning artistic concept to a very apt description,
which you should digest before unleashing the fury on your ears and nerves.

P.S. Turn

That said,
I’m outta
here.
