Croydon, London, UK based emcee Verbz & Brighton based producer Mr Slipz drop their highly anticipated album RADIO WAVES, accompanied by the visual to the track DECLINE OF SELF, featuring Confucius MC & Coops
Rapper and producer duo Verbz & Mr Slipz announce their latest album ‘Radio Waves‘, released via the acclaimed Hip Hop label High Focus Records, the 22-track project sits perfectly between present-day greatness and unrivalled nostalgia welcoming us into their unique rap landscape. The cover, designed by Matt Littler, captures the essence of the album perfectly.
Born and raised in Croydon, rapper Verbz has proven himself time after time with his innovative rhyming style and distinct flow. The creative partnership wouldn’t be complete without Brighton based producer Mr Slipz who marries Verbz’ form with his laid back jazzy sound as well as unmistakable attention to detail. The pair started making music together in 2017 when they released their debut collaboration ‘Lessons Of Adolescence’. This was followed by extensive tours and studio sessions where their musical alliance was cemented and their bond has been untouchable ever since.
Kicking off the album with humour and personality, ‘2202 FM’ is a full-bodied track which sees Verbz spit tales of admiration for his city whilst at the same time striving to escape. With London on the brain, ‘Summer In The Bits’ is an introspective analysis of a summer’s day in the capital full of tense trials and tribulations. Moving throughout the album, ‘Kno The Status’ welcomes three potent guest verses from Alex Holy, Datkid & Upfront paired with an unrivaled arrangement and instrumentation magnifying Mr Slipz’ craft. Once again his incomparable production delivers on ‘Weekend Blues’ which sees Verbz regretfully address craving more from his weekend to then be greeted by numbness on a Monday morning.
High Focus linchpin Fliptrix delivers some captivating combinations on ‘My Wonders’ honing in on the current state of the world from his point of view. Up next is one of the lead singles ‘The Feeling’, which is a refreshing and rare representation of the classic boom-bap sound. Before signing out, Verbz’s impressive storytelling shines through on ‘In My Mind’ offering insight into his artistry as he allows access to his inner thoughts via vivid storytelling lyrics. Sandwiched amongst the project are evocative radio skits placed to perfection, offering angles of comedy including a mini-interview acting as the final pieces to the puzzle.
This record is the culmination of two years of hard work packed with skill and finesse, as we have all come to expect. With their unrivalled chemistry, the dynamic duo have proven themselves to be some of the most exciting artists on the scene, and ‘Radio Waves’ is going to cement their position at the top of the ranks.
