(Stones)

Sometimes the signs of a special collaboration aren’t rooted in million-dollar contracts or fancy deals but two dope individuals who just click. This is what we have here, two men who read the other’s mind on what they want from a track and they execute it in a raw fashion! Let’s tap in! This is the brand-new single by MC’s Isaiah Irahkiev and M-Dot while being produced by M-Dot himself, and across this almost three-minute track we have nothing short of flames! If we start talking about the rhymes first, these two men sound hungry and ready for competition. You can hear that brotherly competition and the need to outdo the other in the best verse and that internal battle between the two which always makes for the best songs! Both men come through with their own brand and individual styles that separate them from the pack! Whether you’re talking about the high-energy, in-your-face and charismatic cadence of M-Dot or that more cartoonish/colourful/animated yet savage presence of Isaiah, both men utilise their own takes to a masterful level and give the culture a masterclass in how to rock a single and the chemistry it takes to pull that off! Savage rhymes, gritty verbal schemes, strong pen game and an aura so heavy they’ll live rent-free in your brain whether you want them to or not! When talking about the beat, we have a strong soulful presence mixed with that overwhelming underground hip-hop creating a fusion that’s equal parts relentless and harmonious! You’ve got those soulful/choir-style vocal loops that run through the track that are accompanied by some plucked bass strings, bare drums and some various Adlibs throughout the song that give it that extra layer of energy that helps wrap the instrumental up into its glorious peak! This is definitely the type of track you’d listen to and bop your head to and mean-mug the world just because it goes so hard! The type of beat that will kick your chest in if you ain’t careful! If you have to listen to any single this month, make sure it’s this one! Dope chemistry and an even doper beat! Check in below!
