(Slide)

I couldn’t think of a better title than this. It’s time to SLIDE into another killer single by the man who has taken the culture by storm with his various singles and with the likes of this feature and dope producer surrounding him, this is about to be another one for the record books! Let’s go!

This brand-new single is by MC Troy Dunnit and producer Crucial Jones and features Blaq Poet and together they drop a solid 3-minute track this is sure to be kept moving in your head for days to come (possibly even weeks). Why? 

We let’s start with the production side of things. What Crucial does with this instrumental is indeed crucial (pun intended) as we get this funky, groovy sonic atmosphere that reminds me of something you’d hear in the late 70s or 80s! This feels like Phil Collins meets underground hip hop!

You’ve got those sharp chord progressions left on a loop as well as some plucked bass strings, light drum work as well as some intricate piano keys in the background to help give a bit of a harmonic balance to the song!

Although there are only a few layers to this song, it’s somehow executed in such a cinematic way that it feels bigger than it really is. A great example of a man utilising the ‘Less Is More’ theory to its grandest degree! 

As far as the MC work goes, we have Troy in his bag once again pulling off one-of-a-kind trademark vocal performances that toe the line between exquisite, powerful, and sharp! It’s as if he’s trying to incorporate many different lanes of techniques and elements at once to create his verses and flows!

Whether he’s on his brash, talk your shit mode, or in his more introspective lyricism, whether he’s in a more smooth execution mood or just straight-up raw hip hop, he doesn’t have a set corner he calls home instead taking the best of all the different influences and creating something new!

Of course, another aspect that makes him so unique is his ability to create dope chemistry with anyone he gets onto the mic with! On this occasion, being Blaq Poet, who dominates in his own unique way as well, providing a refreshing contrast to Troy’s skillset and ultimately leaving the track a stronger listen as a result!

Another amazing single by Troy Dunnit and company. He really might be taking the spot for the new king of singles if he keeps up with this pace! Only time will tell, but for now, go stream the record!
