‘Bring It Back To Basics’ is the highly anticipated LP from two of UK hip-hop’s most prevalent artists, Verb T & Harry Love. This debut album for both artists has been an ongoing project of theirs for the last 5 years. Capturing the sound of their youth, it is reminiscent of the material released during in the golden era of hip-hop, which they grew up listening to.

Being Harry Love’s first full-length release he gets to really show the breadth of his capabilities providing backdrops ranging from progressive, haunting, sample-based soundscapes to upfront synthesised bangers. Verb T’s also gets to cover a range of styles across the LP from laid back story telling to punch line battle raps. Guest vocals from the likes of Jehst, Ramson Badbonez, Kyza and Yungun add the finishing touches to a complete musical work that plays through consistently from beginning to end.

“Reminds me of the reason why I got into hip hop in the first place. It's not often these days that music moves me to the point I want to rush out and buy it to put on constant rotation.

The unique visuals of the accompanying video are also featured on the disc.

The title track is on a lighter note, reflecting on the pair’s African roots with party lyrics and upbeat production, while ‘Straight Vybin’ brought the pair much attention and was dubbed as a summer classic.  ]]> SilentSoundz http://shop.silentsoundz.com/blind-alphabetz-african-rhythms-p-95.html Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:53:18 +0000 10.00 95 http://shop.silentsoundz.com/images/medium/blindalphaafrican_MED.jpg http://shop.silentsoundz.com/verb-t-the-last-skeptik-broken-window-p-77.html http://shop.silentsoundz.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=77 Verb T & The Last Skeptik's critically acclaimed album is finally here.
