Infinite Sounds UK: Single Review: All The Way Live by Seek The Northerner

All The Way Live

Seek The Northerner

Now, it’s not often that a single drops in front of you that generates the kind of excitement as a full album but, the latest release by Seek The Northerner on Northentic Records is one such example.

All The Way Live is a posse cut that is produced by Seek and features a stunning line up of emcees along side him, and not only that but, it also features DJ Robert Smith (2016 DMC Germany Champion, Dusty Donuts 45s, Smith & Smart), which really raises the bat when it come to the anticipation stakes…

So, before I really get into this track, just who is lining up on this track? In order of how they appear there is Sublingual, Lomax, Seek, Farma G, Eskar, Hinesy, Assa, Ill Sykes, Ken Masters, Micky Swags, Benny Diction and Doberman, I mean, what more do I need to say here, let’s face it, nothing, I’ll say no more and just take you on a ride through this track…

The beat is comprised of a solid head nod drum beat with Harpsichord style keys creating a melody that carries you along, the only change is on the bridge which brings cuts from DJ Robert Smith and a brief switch from keys to Flute notes. Across the next five and a half minutes or so, you get six verses, each featuring two emcess dropping around twenty seconds or so of their finest bars. This is not a track with a theme or a particular message, what you get here is akin to a live freestyle, where each emcee steps up to the mic and throws down for your listening pleasure.

When most of you think of a posse cut, you’re probably thinking of heavy hardcore beats with furious in your face style lyrics but, Seek seems to approach it from a different angle with the type of beat you can nod and move along to, without launching you into the atmosphere, and the lyrics from each emcee have that grown man Hip Hop quality to them and, because the beat bangs but never loses you, you are still able to concentrate on the words, giving them and by default, the emcee, the time and recognition they deserve.

I don’t need to interpret every line here because this is a track that needs to be heard and enjoyed by the listener as it keeps to engaged from top to bottom. That is exactly what I did, enjoy every minute of it, and that is exactly what I suggest you do.

All The Way Live is probably one of the best posse style cuts I’ve heard so far this year and sets the bar pretty high for anyone who wants to follow suit. This is some of the cream of UK talent out there right now, there might be a few names you are not that familiar with but, by the time this one is over, you are gonna know every one of them and what they have to offer and Seek shows that he is quickly becoming one of the driving forces on the UK scene as both emcee and producer.

All The Way Live drops on 5^th April and is one of those tracks that has the quality to keep you going back to it over and over but, don’t take my word for it, check it for yourself.

Oh! Did I forget to mention you can get it for free...

My thanks to Seek The Northerner for giving me the chance to bring this one to you.

Time for me to be out, gotta give this one another listen.

See Ya,

Steve
