North London’s Scorcher is on a Balon D’or run of recent, back to the basics with a heap of verses and features, not only returning to the forefront, receiving the well deserved Mobo Award and recently performing Can’t Touch This with British pop legend Robbie Williams, but shining the spotlight on the real local talents, reigniting that authentic feel that’s been missing in the game for a minute. This time connecting with Smila for the impromptu 9:17PM
It’s been no secret of Scorcher’s abilities as an MC, however each time you hear him, levels are being raised, with this verse serving yet another example of that. When he flows like this it’s reminiscent of ’06 Thierry Henry, unstoppable. An effortless balance of skill, presence and most of all bringing the fun back, creating real music for real people. Linking up with Smila, who takes the opportunity to deliver an equally credible verse whilst taking on directorial duties, putting together this complete vibe of a production, from the opening title, sequencing, humorous text overlays and the one take transition he’s been known for, crafting a real and raw execution, complimentary of the overall feel, one that North London can be proud of.
