Jay Nice x Stack Skrilla - The Holy Mountain
City For Sale is a breakup album. A relationship album. Instead of a woman it's about my hometown...YOUR hometown...your old way of living. Growing apart from a place, from people, from who you once were. Because I'm from a currently gentrifying city that theme is on the surface of the album but the overall narrative is for any person that feels unfamiliar in a space that was currently familiar to them. This album is me finding my new comfort zone because I have to.
Jay Nice and Stack Skrilla team to deliver The Holy Mountain. The latest from Chong Wizard Records is yet another clinic in the art of gritty bars and beats.
Dutch singer/songwriter Joya Mooi makes her long-awaited return with The Ease of Others – an ethereal, trap-inflected soul confessional produced by Blazehoven and Sim Fane.
Broken beat, nu-jazz, brukstep and electro-soul combine to create the signature “London Bruk Boogie” sound on EP1 from Likwid Continual Space Motion bka IG Culture.
