Caspar Grant - Sides of the Coin feat Myka 9 (Single)

Caspar Grant teams up with Italian bass scientist Deadroom and hip hop legend Myka 9 of Freestyle Fellowship with a low frequency masterpiece ‘Sides Of The Coin’ released on the collective platform and label And What?

The track starts with a hypnotic drum beat reminiscent of ebb and flow. The track progresses and you can hear Deadroom’s menacing frequencies and rhythmic chops. It made a refreshing change to the beats that we are normally use to when it come to Hip Hop. This gave a low frequency vibe mixed with Dubstep and Techno, making in gritty enough for the MCs.  The lyrics also reflect this especially when the chorus comes in ‘Sides Of The Coin’ made me think about the current living crisis and the class system that is in place. Painting imagery allows us to visualise ‘half of these kids on minimal income’ and gives us food for thought, over a beat you can rave to. Myka 9 was skipping, hopping and jumping over this beat and was absolutely the right fit for the track, both MCs absolutely shelled this!

Caspar Grant, the psychedelic satirist, is an MC, producer and multi instrumentalist born in Birmingham and forged in the fires of imagination. This single will be followed by an album in November, featuring beat smiths such as Pie Eye Collective, Zatoichi's Ears, Able 8, Kinlaw, Deadroom and Dusty Ohms as well as sharing mic duties with long time partner in rhyme Zaeb Dust, Ty Lowe and Myka 9 of the legendary Freestyle Fellowship.
