A defiant statement in the face of one of the least Summer-like Summers in recent memory, Renelle 893 and Vagrant Real Estate bring the heat across five tracks sampling warm funk, disco and soul to round out the last of the light evenings.

From the straight chops and DJ Screw-flavoured filters of TING DON’T LAST to the R&G 140bpm energy of ALL DAY, VRE casts a range of styles and genres across the project with Renelle 893 sounding equally at home on all of them. The effortless flow and throwaway lines which would be signature bars in anyone else’s repertoire dance throughout SEWIS, ensuring a new favourite line for the listener with each repeat play-through.

The artwork, hand drawn by VRE, harks back to childhood cartoon strips epitomising endless sunshine and the feeling that the summer days will last forever, with a modern nod to the bounce of West Coast low-riders with candy paint gleaming in the sun. A sole feature from High Focus label mate and UK Hip-Hop heavyweight Verbz puts the finishing touch on another jewel in both artist's discographies.
