C.o.N-Vers + Commodity - Project Prometheus (Album)

Project Prometheus’ is the brand new offering from C.o.N-Vers (Write2Speak, The Last Elect) and Manchester based producer Commodity.

Released on Diss-Figured Records, this 9 track album pays homage to the classic Hip Hop sound that both of these guys love, showcasing a range of versatility across the project.

The name of the project pays reference to being the first that the pair has worked on, but also that, in Greek Mythology, Prometheus gave the gift of fire to mankind, and in a tongue in cheek way, this album is a gift of fire to the masses..!!

Like a lot of collaborations in modern life, the duo first connected on Instagram, and after a few pleasantries, decided to work on a few tracks together.

C.o.N-Vers says “after we spoke a couple times, Commodity said he would get some beats together to send over, and the first one he sent me was what ended up being “Battling Gods”. When I first heard that, I was completely blown away. I sent him back the track with my vocals on, and from there on, it was one of the most seamless projects I’ve worked on”.

Commodity says “the whole process from start to finish has been a genuine pleasure, and its crazy how well we work together, this is definitely going to be the first of many, and project number two is already underway”.

From the hard, rolling, breathless sounds of “Kenshiro”, to the super smooth melodic vibes of “Interventions”, this album has it all. It has been arranged as a non stop listen, with skits filling the gaps and to keep the theme throughout continuous.

Commodity states his claim with super smooth production, as well as fully mixing and mastering the entire project, and C.o.N-Vers continues to go from strength to strength as a wordsmith, the pair are certainly ones to keep an eye on.

Project Prometheus is out now on all streaming platforms, with Videos for “Kenshiro” and “Turkish” up on the Diss-Figured Records youtube channel.
