Ballad of Snakes
Silas
The Latest track from the very talented Silas from
Solothurn, Switzerland, features Graphic Bars, from Brighton UK and DJ Skeptic,
of Freezes Deyna, who also hails from Solothurn.
This is one of those International Hip Hop tracks that proves
the movement is very much alive and kicking throughout Europe and the whole
world. It also proves that within Hip Hop we stand united as one through the
ups and downs of society today.
Ballad of Snakes is a dark heart pounding track that focuses
on those who pretend to be your friend and, face to face, act like you are ‘thick
as thieves’. But, behind your back they only seek to make you look bad for their
own selfish reasons. Let’s be honest we have all been in that position one time
or another. Hence the saying ‘Keep your Friends close but, your enemies closer’.
Silas raps in his native tongue and you might think that
would be an issue. Although you might not understand his actual words, if you
don’t speak Swiss, you will feel the emotion and the energy in his delivery.
The fact that we have all shared this experience at one time or another will
bridge that gap in the understanding.
Joining Silas is the superb Brighton emcee, Graphic Bars.
Who is one of the up and coming UK Hip Hop artist’s. Here his verse stands
shoulder to shoulder with Silas and brings his own style of lyricism which
helps you paint a vivid picture in your mind of those back stabbers who are
often only snapping at you because of something within themselves that is
eating away at them.
The production and DJ Skeptic’s Cut’s fit the subject matter
perfectly creating a dark vision in your mind as the track permeates your consciousness
and you find yourself nodding to the vibe and perhaps casting a brief glance
over your shoulder just to make sure there are no Snakes slithering there.
Silas is one of those independent artist to watch out for
and if you have not checked out his previous releases, then Do it, Do it now...
On that note, I’m outta here,
Catch ya next time.
