War & Peace a dual concept that has been intrinsically woven into the human psyche since time began. Part universal constant, part universal desire.

As we rumble ever closer to the release of Confucius MC’s forthcoming album Somewhere, the London wordsmith continues to build the anticipation with the unveiling of the second single from the project.

In contrast to Lanterns, which served as the lead single, War & Peace is a solo affair that gives us an undiluted burst of Cons full force on the mic. Scratch below the surface of his laid-back flow to reveal the stream-of-consciousness style lyricism and intricately structured bars, that have become his rap calling cards.

Once again, its Cons regular creative sparring partner, Keor Meteor, on production duties. Woozy horns make up the driving force of the beat, which achieves a cautiously triumphant feel, giving the perception of victory on the battle-field. Punchy but refined; energised but focused - the perfect companion for Confucius MCs philosophical flow.
