London, UK based emcee Confucius MC teams up with STRANGE U (High Focus) & Lee Scott (Blah Records) on their new track CICADA 3301, produced by France based Keor Meteor

Confucius MC steps back out of the shadows for his latest single ‘Cicada 3301’, drafting in underworld connections STRANGE U and Lee Scott for covert operations. It’s a cinematic affair right from the opening fanfare, dropping the listener into the off-kilter, chaotic tumble of a ’60s sci-fi soundtrack, complete with colourful, kooky, and charismatic characters. The three emcees exchange stream of consciousness bars in an effort to decipher the codes and conventions of modern man, dishing up home-cooked truths with a side order of salt.

Taken from the forthcoming ‘Somewhere’ LP, Confucius once again joins forces with French producer Keor Meteor, placing him at the helm for the album’s entirety. Keor’s jazz-heavy approach at the boards serves as the ideal canvas for Confucius to wax lyrical, a musical union, akin to that of beat-scene hero Madlib and the late, great MF DOOM, two artists whose influence looms large over the project.

Cited by Kae Tempest as,

“A huge influence on my life, my character, and my rhyme-style”,

Confucius MC has been carving his own echelon in the UK Hip Hop landscape alongside running creative workshops for young people in his community. A top-tier collaborator, Con earned rave reviews as one half of Old Paradice with Blah Records producer Morriarchi and featured heavily on Jehst’s ‘Billy Green is Dead’ LP and 2019 single ‘Autumn Nights’.
