Realist Cuz

A veteran of the grime scene, artist/producer Blay Vision demonstrates his experience, perspicacity and craft on the brooding, blasé and absorbing ‘Realist Cuz’. Having produced for some of the biggest names in grime, such as JME and Skepta, Blay has become increasingly acclaimed for his work as a vocalist, offering a singular and barometrical take on UK rap. On Realist Cuz, neon, ethereal melodies are conjugated with ruminated, captivating delivery and memorable lyricism to conceive this subtle, esoteric banger.

The expertly produced instrumental combines a variety of synth sounds and texture with deep, lugubrious bass and percussion to forge an atmospheric, ambient soundscape. The track stems from the roots and tendencies of grime, but leads into a profound sonic direction, using futuristic, unconventional intonations and composition to create the enthralling and intrusive timbre. Blay offers mediated, pondering lyrical ideas; each phrase struck by nuance and artistry, complimenting the dark, ghostly instrumental. 

More astute, penetrating and engaging than your average grime track, Blay Vision ups his stake in the new wave of UK rap.
