I'll be honest, friends. I'm at that stage in life where rap is REALLY boring to me. I find myself listening to older catalog stuff but the whole Migos cadence over trap beats is MEGA played out (no disrespect to Migos). Rap has never been at a point where everything actually sounds the same. I'm not the old guy complaining about the young kids music, am I? I think it's easy to replicate easy to mix into DJ sets, easy to forget who you're listening to. Easy. I get it. But I need variety.
There are some people coming up I really like and enjoy but the majority of submissions I get for blogs and playlists are pretty bad. So I was scrolling on IG one day and found this video snippet of some dudes named Pete & Bas on a track called "the Old Estate". At first I thought it was some older guys just lip syncing on the track to make a cool video but I was wrong. They're not only actually rapping but these blokes have some BARS.
This is the newest video and man, I'm a proper fan lol I went back and listened to some of their other music and forreal I'm a fan. I'm starting to get back into the English scene (grime, drill, etc) and it's so refreshing to hear something different. Thank you, Pete & Bas. Would love to work with them someday on some marketing over here across the pond.
Anyway, press play and enjoy.
