Cornwall-based Hip Hop artist Mogal and producer/DJ Teck-Zilla unveil their newest AWAY WITH WORDS EP, the seven-track project is a showcase of musical mastery from the duo, as Mogal flows effortlessly over Teck-Zilla’s lo-fi/Soul soundscapes

‘AWAY WITH WORDS‘ is a seven-track lo-fi/Hip Hop collaborative project by Cornwall-based rapper Mogal and producer/DJ Teck-Zilla. The project was born after the two shared musical ideas after meeting at different live shows in Falmouth. As the title suggests, the project focuses primarily on the art of rhyming and how words can be structured and rearranged to move listeners.

From the solemn introduction, Mogal lays the foundation, preparing us for what to expect before he moves to the summer-tinged and playful ‘SNOOP’. On ‘CLICK CLACK, ‘ he ramps up the bravado with expertly crafted lines like,

“Click Clack Sick Raps fresher than a tic tac /My New tac-tic make the money do a back flip/Kick back spit phat knowing it’s a mismatch/You ain’t even match fit I’m banging in a hat trick”,

where he shows a masterclass in rhyming. He continues with a dash of reflection on ‘HEAD HOME’ which takes us into his psyche on ‘MAN MADE MOUNTAINS’, while flexing his verbal biceps on ‘NEXT UP’ before closing it out on a high note with ‘RUSSIAN DOLL’, where he crosses the T’s and dots the I’s with internal rhyme schemes and off-kilter wordplay.

On the production side of things, Teck-Zilla creates a mix of dusty lo-fi/soul meets cinematic vibe with an analog aesthetic as the canvas for Mogal to paint his pictures. Each beat sounds vastly different and unique from one track to the next, keeping listeners guessing which way the song will go as he continues to raise the ante with a forward-thinking, retro-inspired musical style.

Mogal and Teck-Zilla are members of the premier Cornwall Hip Hop collective Dsy Fam, which comprises founding member DJ/Producer Kid Brasi, the elusive Sispex, Rap veteran Enlxsh, WolfBeats, Ratty Jack, Brews Willis, and others…
