Wall to Wall /
Supernatural Force
By
Emskee
This awesome 12” release was the first in 2021 from
Bristol’s AE Productions. It features two tracks from the legendary and
multi-talented New York MC/DJ Emskee. Emskee has a back catalog that is highly impressive,
from solo releases to projects with The Good People and more guest appearances
than you can shake a stick at, including AE releases Age Appropriate from
Oxygen (2019) and What Beetlez? By Cut Beetlez (2020).
The A-Side is Wall to Wall and features a pounding
boom bap beat with laid-back guitar vibes produced by AE’s Mr Fantastic. Here
Emskee drops some seamless bars that speak on what he is all about, his
pedigree and skill. This one really takes it back to those golden age Hip Hop
tracks that hit hard and add to that the scratched in chorus from Emskee
himself and you are in no doubt that he is exactly who he says he is…
Flip to the B-Side for Supernatural Force, here Mr
Fantastic’s production is a straight up head nod drum beat with some eerie
synths. Emskee’s vocal wordplay keeps you rooted in Hip Hop’s golden era with
more than a few references to some of the greats to ever do it. Not just that
but, a top emcee has to have that edge to be at the top of their game and
Emskee displays that here, that Supernatural Force. Mr Fantastic also provides
the scratches on this one which sets it off.
There is no doubt here that Emskee alongside Mr Fantastic
have put together something that embodies that East Coast golden era Hip Hop
vibe. It screams real Hip Hop from the roof tops and will definitely appeal to
those old skool headz out there who will appreciate that this feels every bit
the total Hip Hop package. Emskee is hitting you with cerebral lines that have
your brain wanting to break out of your skull, whilst the production and
scratching push the adrenaline levels through the roof. This is the kinda Hip
Hop we grew up on…
This release goes to prove that when AE Productions drop a
release, they always drop quality from some of the best to ever hold a mic or
lay their hands on vinyl and linking up with Emskee on this release shows that
2021 is gonna be another top year of Hip Hop gold. As always AE brings you a
total package. Being a 12” single you get more for you money with a Main, Radio
edit and Instrumental of each track and the artwork here comes from Nick at
fine print who has created the look and feel of the classic 50’s and 60’s
releases from Blue Note.
This is another must have in my view.
On that note,
I’m out,
Steve
