Conscious Route - Sensory (New EP)

Conscious Route is a rapper, MC, poet and singer-songwriter who was born in London before moving to Edinburgh over a decade ago.

In 2020, he unleashed the collaborative - ‘Lost Routes’ album, alongside producer True Note - The album received a 4-star review in The Scotsman and although one track was picked out for ‘Track of the Week' on BBC Introducing Scotland, another 5 were named among ‘Scotland’s Top 100 Tunes’ in The Herald.

In addition to this - his last two releases ‘Trojan’ and his feature on ‘Dragons Jaw’ by Post Coal Prom Queen were also named ‘Track of the Week’ on BBC Introducing Scotland in two consecutive weeks. He now aims to continue his red-hot streak of releases with his latest project. 

The Sensory EP is solely produced by Toni Smoke who is one of Scotland's most highly regarded and long-standing producers, having worked with some of the best artists Scotland has to offer, as well as many artists worldwide.

The featured artists include UK Hip Hop veteran lyricist - Wordsmiff Flip on ‘Sabotage’ who is back on the scene after a long hiatus and fresh off the release of his ‘The Grownman Showcase’ album and the talented Glasgow based singer, Nicola Taylor, who delivers some fantastic, soulful vocals on ‘Linking with You’.

While short in length, Sensory EP is a soul-filled release bringing a heavy slice of what fans have come to expect from a Conscious Route release - Introspective, thought-provoking, authentic and head nodding.
