Tight new song by U.G. from the Cella Dwellas and IDE, produced by Haze Attacks. Listening to this takes me back to the days of Realms and Reality, reminding me of the dark, raw sound that caught my attention, back when groups strived to bring a deeper level of originality in their musical identity through enchanting verbal imagery. In this song U.G. and IDE bring an original style of writing by merging influences of traditional storybook fantasy, scripts, scrolls and fairy tales into hip hop, carving their own lane of intellectual presentation and thoughtful storytelling as MCs. I believe it is this sort of originality of a lyricist which makes for an interesting and outstanding song, from the ability to take influences gathered from life and provide a unique character of hip hop to stimulate our imagination.
Check the images in the video, you'll get the feeling of the basic hip hop elements by seeing live stage footage and shots of them recording in front of the MPC and SP1200. This is basically what I look for in a traditional hip hop listening experience.
