https://www.skripture.co.uk/

The South West London Rapper/Producer Is Back on The Rap Scene With More Creativity and Drive

Skripture is dropping his first music video today, “Journey” to kick start the campaign on his latest EP Bally. With 2 EP releases already this year, Multi-talented Skripture gives us his first visuals to his thought-provoking single.

“Journey” is produced, written and mixed and mastered by Skripture. The song contains poignant lyrics revealing the vicious cycle of life when coming from the inner city of London, the bad and ugly and the long-lasting impacts it has on the heart, mind and soul. How you have to keep moving forward, even if you’re afraid, things aren’t fair or you don’t know where you’re gonna end up.

“It was inspired by the surroundings I grew up in and how they affected my decision making in situations that could have ended up with me paying a heavy price. Even though I knew better I still put myself in those situations. It’s a very personal track, hopefully people will see the message I was trying to portray with the concept.”

(Spotify)

“‘Feel It’ is the first track on the debut EP by Canadian rap duo HarveyDent. Namely, EV Thompson, & Kurlz.

An underground vibe that cuts across & balances the divide between old school & currently relevant.”

This is the first song from the first ep released by HarveyDent. We formed the group throughout the pandemic and since we couldn't attend our usual studio we recorded the entire project DIY. It's a grimy, lyrically brazen collection of songs. Lots of mic passing, and draws comparisons to golden era rap groups with a flavour that works in 2021.
