(INTERVENTION)

Holy shit, just when I thought Bone couldn’t outdo himself, he makes this ridiculous beat and proves everyone wrong again! I’ve already listened to this song 10x before I even began to write this because I was just mean-mugging my phone while bopping my head! It’s ridiculous to even think this after what’s already come out, but this

could be the best single to drop so far! 

This is the BRAND NEW Single off the upcoming new ERG ONE album, fully produced by Bone Weso, and every new single they drop happens to be my favourite new single, and this one is no different! This is the definition of ‘Hit different’, and I can’t believe I get to cover it!

So, let’s talk about the production. Bone is a legend at this point; fuck anyone who thinks otherwise. He has consistently proven his superiority above the rest in this game, and this single is further evidence of his dominance over the game!

What we have here is one of the most infectious jazz tracks I’ve ever heard. We have this atmospheric horn loop that has a ‘Middle Eastern/dessert’ feel to it. Like a soundtrack to the Mummy movies! It’s smooth and raw at the same time! 

There’s also some thick bass lines and a minimal drum pattern that helps lift up these luxurious jazz notes as the centre stage! I don’t remember the last time I felt this engulfed by a single beat! I could literally (and probably will) listen to this for days to come on repeat!

As expected, we have ERG ONE on the verse. He opens the track up sounding as smooth as ever himself! To me, his flow on here sounds like classic 2000s underground legendary rhythm! It feels like he’s inheriting the godfathers like Illogic and Slug in his powerful and fluent take on the song! 

I love how he starts off the verse with ‘R.I.P. To Chino XL’, being respectful to the ones that came before and helping push the culture forward with his own unique and refreshing verses and performances! Absolutely incredible!

In this track though, he ain’t alone. We have the legend himself, ESTEE NACK, closing the track off, and his splash style is as infectious as ever. Never one to let the beat take his bars over, he manipulates the production and makes it wrap around HIS words and not the other way around!

He’s sharp, his street poetry is vivid and gritty as per usual, and his rhythm is untouched. Considering he and Bone go WAY back, it’s only natural that his verse is as perfect as can be! 

This is easily my new favourite single by the group. This instrumental is phenomenal, and the two verses are a masterclass in how it’s meant to be done! This is one you CAN’T AFFORD TO SKIP!!
