Blak Twang - Speaking From Xperience

Blak Twang's long awaited 5th album Speaking from Xperience is out now on Abstract Urban.

Blak Twang's elder statesman status means he's a natural spokesman for home-grown hip-hop, whether defending the scene he helped put back in the shop window on prime-time television, or his battle-hardened tones meaning every track he blesses is given a thick coating of experience, knowledge and wisdom. But Twang has never been one for relying on high-fiving himself, preferring the oft-cited defiance of letting the music talk for itself.

Ignited by the jump-off single Help Them Lord - a crashing, rousing extension of Jahmali's So Rotton chorus - Speaking from Xperience has him snatching back his throne, and getting nice and comfy on it while he's at it. Right from the starter's gun, he resumes domestic sovereignty on the apocalyptic Legends, trading breathless show-n-proves with Sway, and Nah I Ain't Done relishes putting impudent inquisitors back on the shelf.

Tony Rotton has always produced his own beats whilst working alongside various talented beat makers. This time around collaborations have come from First Man and Silvastone Beats on production and sharing mic time with right-hand man K9 as well as Kanye West connect Rhymefest, UK's own up and coming talent Tor and Nigeria's MTV award winning singer Tuface Idibia Rotton's unshakeable, knuckle-whitening grip on the mic steadfastly remains. Once a lyric's spat, it stays spat, lamenting the easily influenced on Champagne Lifestyle and Nu N'uh alongside Estelle. Resting on laurels has never been a good look, meaning the maintenance of survival instincts is essential, developing into a one-man amnesty on Cant Truss Dem, How Long, and So Hard rummaging through old soul 45s to score tales of today's harsh realities.
