Edinburgh-based emcee Conscious Route recently released his new PROTEST EP, produced by fellow Edinburgh-based beat maker Crink, featuring DJ JabbaThaKut

Conscious Route is a rapper, poet, and singer/songwriter who was born in London before moving to Edinburgh over a decade ago. In 2020 he unleashed the collaborative ‘Lost Routes’ album, alongside producer True Note. The album received a 4-star review in The Scotsman and was picked out for a ‘track of the week’ on BBC Introducing Scotland.

In addition to this, his last two releases ‘Trojan’ and his feature on ‘Dragons Jaw’ by Post Coal Prom Queen were named track of the week on BBC Introducing Scotland and his ‘Sensory’ EP from August was a collaboration with producer Toni Smoke which saw two tracks receive worldwide airplay on Rapstation 365 Radio station of legendary Chuck D (Public Enemy).

The ‘Protest’ EP is a thundering blend of contemporary sounds and old-school execution showcasing Conscious Route’s diversity and versatility as an artist and a willingness to embrace more cutting-edge production styles while not compromising his individuality or past credentials. The EP is produced by fellow Edinburgh-based beat maker Crink
and cuts by iconic UK turntablist, DJ JabbaThaKut on the track ‘C4’. Never one to conform to industry trends or expectations the ‘Protest‘ EP is another heavy addition to Conscious Route’s diverse and progressive back catalogue which he looks to continue to add to through 2021 and beyond…

To accompany the release of the EP Conscious Route released the visual to the track ‘Oblique Oppression’, shot by Andrew Mackenzie.
