The Eska – Long Way

Categories: Audio, Hip-Hop, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

““I don’t wanna sound mainstream” is the outright statement with which this track kicks in and its main hook - and indeed there’s a fresh feel about it while at the same time it keeps lots of those good ingredients you’d come to expect from a solid hip-hop production of these days. The Eska seems to be an artist whose promise to catch that “big wind”will come true.”

The song kicks off with a cinematic introduction, which has a bit of a dark mood to it, but it is far from being gloomy. On the contrary, it has a mysterious weight to it, which serves as a perfect way to launch the song. Soon after, a spoken word segment chimes in, highlighting the artist’s willingness to communicate a stronger message with his lyrics from the get-go. At about 23 seconds in, the main beat blasts in, adding a massive dose of low-end and energy to the mix, but without missing out on the atmospheric sounds that made the beginning so special.

Categories: Audio, Hip-Hop, The Latest|Tags: , , |

Mr. SOS revives the important question, "what happened to peace," on this anti-war anthem, "Peace & Prosperity" produced by Maxamill.

Written for Ukraine and all victims of abuse, SOS delivers smooth but concise rhymes over beautiful production made up from hard bass grooves, hypnotic guitar melodies and a sax loop that sounds like a classic hip hop version of Marvin Gaye's "What’s Going On".

The song opens with a story of domestic abuse, focusing on a character named Janie who confronts her abuser. When asked why he chose to tell this story, SOS says, "It’s because we know there's a lot going on in the world right now and we want to be able to help, but we can't fix the world unless we fix ourselves first. It also plays like a metaphor for conflict such as the one happening between Russia & Ukraine."

Then in the second verse SOS gives us positive & inspiring words dedicated to Ukraine and everyone around the world who shares solidarity with the Ukrainian people, as well as a message for all people and leaders. "It’s a song I can see being played by protesters and revolutionaries," adds SOS.

"Peace & Prosperity" is out now, with cover art by Ukrainian artist and graphic designer Mikhailo Polivanov.
