By
Ciphurphace
Prod. By Alias Molombo
Feat. KRS-One,
A-F-R-O, Sweet Juices, J Bolts, The Nicewun JM, A Gent Orange & Solar
Flight
When you’re asked if you would like to review a posse cut
track with the likes of KRS-One and A-F-R-O on it, you kind of jump at the
chance. Now, this one has been out for a bit but, things have been busy at
Infinite Sounds UK so, I’ve only just got to this one.
The track is posse cut version of the track Boom Bap 3:16
by Tucson emcee Ciphurphace feat, KRS-One and A-F-R-O. This track, the Boom Bap
8:16 Posse Cut features KRS-One, A-F-R-O, Sweet Juices (Chicago), J Bolts (St
Petersburg, Florida), The Nicewun JM (UK), A Gent Orange (Wales) and Solar
Flight (UK), alongside Ciphurphace, and it is produced by German producer Alias
Molombo.
Before I get into it, I just wanna give a huge shout out to
The Nicewun JM for dropping this one my way. I reviewed his debut album Celebratin’
Hip Hop… Over Here way back in 2021 and so it is good have him feature on
the blog once again.
Let’s get straight into it…
Here we have eight emcees with sixteen being the focus,
hence 8:16, dropping bars in a classic boom bap style. The production from
Alias Molombo has a beat that is boom bap all the way, hitting hard and
accompanied by what possibly sounds like, ukulele notes. This gives you
something you can nod your head to or go all out and bounce to with an
adrenaline rush. What we are then
treated to is six minutes of some incredible displays of lyricism from some
talented emcees. The track mixes the legendary figure of KRS-One and lyrical
force that is A-F-R-O, with a host of emcees you may or may not be aware of, in
what is a truly international display of Hip Hop music.
Now, I’m sure this came about as the result of a competition,
the Boom Bap 3:16 competition, which gave us the original 3:16 track where
Ciphurphace jumped on with KRS and A-F-R-O. This was expanded to the 5:16 when
Sweet Juices and J Bolt jumped on, then it was expanded one last time to
feature The Nicewun JM, A Gent Orange and Solar Flight. Every verse here is
just a solid display of what each is capable of, in terms of lyricism and
wordplay, but beyond that you get a sense of how each weave in a little of
there own life’s experience to add some depth to their individual verses.
Everyone loves a good posse cut and this one is a cracking display of Hip Hop in its rawest form. However, it is also a display of how Hip Hop spans the globe and the years. This one will get your adrenaline levels ramped up and get you bouncing. Not one to sleep one for sure.
The Boom Bap 8:16 Posse Cut is out now.
I’ll see ya next time,
Steve
