Fekky – Flowers

Amongst the more recent rise of UK Rap, one of the figures responsible is none other than Fekky, returning back to the fold to take his flowers

With his own distinct tone and grown content, Fekky had established himself as a staple amongst the current crop of our rap stars, a major label deal resulted in the pivotal Dizzee Rascal featured classic, though some felt it steered away from his true sound, the scene itself was going through changes, still persevering with multiple projects (4Life and Red Wine) over the past couple years satisfying his core fans, he now returns more comfortable than ever.

Flowers, a textured effort, if Drill is the sound of the soldiers, then Fekky’s music is for the Generals, following up to the audio statements that were Wig Man and Man Like F

All releases so far, are an evolution, a mature level/boss mentality of rap, the lack of label support is irrelevant as the authenticity will help cement him amongst adequate audiences. A blend of street sounds and aspirational anecdotes, accompanied with his catchy adlibs, help reinstate man like F back to the forefront like he never left.

These recent releases have certainly raised demand for a full length project which is no doubt on it’s way, overall, it’s a positive as this return helps further strengthen the scene.

Ironik – Icey ft. Fekky

Ironik can well be considered one of the pioneers of the scene, he definitely broadened the sound with classics that have contributed to the fact that so many years later, he’s still maintained a relevance upon which he remains booked. Many have grown up with his songs, and so his place is somewhat cemented, but he adds to that, as he continues to work, having released the album Truth Be Told. Following up on the visuals for Watch Nuttin (ft. Ayo Beatz), he release his next visual for one of the standouts with Big Fekky..

Though the album has a collaboration with none other than Snoop Dogg, it’s this number with Island Records’ own Fekky, that people have gravitated towards, with it’s uptempo production and their contrast tones and verses, it combines to create a well crafted and current sounding track, which works even better at live events. Fekky has been one of the go to guys for that amped flow, it’s a different level of energy that sounds as good through your headphones as it does live, and as he prepares for new material, this is definitely appreciated. Overall, it’s a good reintroduction for Ironik, who will build upon this as he works on the follow up project.
