Edd Stark's latest release, "Roccets," is an atmospheric, conscious boom-bap track featuring a gritty, classic drum punch, a deep, soulful bassline and a haunting, detuned melodic loop. The confident, conversational vocal delivery lends a gruff, honest feel to the performance. It’s a mix of street reality and social commentary, talking about community struggle and personal ambition. The lyrics “too much black death and we’ll never have a surplus, I need souls that can’t be purchased” is representative of the sharp, uncompromising lyrical direction the track takes. Roccets is a natural home for lyrical hip hop, late nite boom-bap and raw cinematic storytelling. What makes the track unique is the realism and ambition behind it, the heavy rhythm and soulful low end combined with simple commentary.
