Opio x Free The Robots - "Point Of View"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Serving up a bit of west coast nostalgia with a bouncing party track, Hiero representative Opio teams with Free The Robots on "Point Of View" from their forthcoming collaborative Sempervirens LP. The simple melodic approach of FTR makes way for a return to the basic tenets of the boom-bap as Opio drops formidable bars that easily separate the real from the fake:

Point of View was the song that I had the most fun recording. FTR and a bunch of my homies were with me in the studio and we were all sitting around talking shit and cracking jokes and those conversations manifested themselves into the lyrics. I really like the pacing of this track, the chorus and the verses mesh seamlessly, it’s just one of those songs that never gets old.

Check the track below to listen to "Point Of View." Look out for the Sempervirens LP, slated to arrive in September. Stay tuned for more from Opio x FTR.
