London, UK-based emcee Joka B and Yorkshire-born, Poland-based emcee/producer DaRealMrLee recently released their new PICKPOCKETS EP

Long-time collaborators Joka B & MrLee have linked up once more, this time on a 6 track EP titled ‘Pickpockets‘.

The seed was planted after last year’s collaboration on the track ‘Roll Round’, released on division Bass Digital, the drum and bass track produced by MrLee was a step away from the usual hip hop and grime sounds the two emcees are known for.

‘Pick Pockets’ was intended to be a multi genres canvas, one on which both emcees would be able to illustrate their lyrical prowess. From the high-energy D&B opener ‘Still Rolling,’ to heavily grime-influenced cuts such as ‘Game of Flows’ and ‘Step Up’.

‘Nightshift’, featuring Croydons’ colossus Ultra_Eko morphs into a more dark atmospheric Hip Hop sound, one that has become a calling card for MrLees productions. Overall ‘PickPockets’ comes across as a well-thought-out project, that ticks a lot of boxes. From catchy hooks to the balance of energy in the tracks.

The chemistry between the two emcees is apparent throughout, whilst the 6 track EP is not feature-heavy, the two features are heavyweight, along with the already mentioned Ultra_Eko, Houston Texas OG $Doobie$Dinero$ weighs in on bass-heavy ‘Game of Flows’.

Could there be a Pickpockets 2 on the horizon? As long as there are pockets to fill.
