The Four Owls prepare to drop a new album
RnB/Hip Hop | Thursday 15th January 2015 | Matt
Collaborations in hip hop are always exciting, and this is one you should definitely know about. The Four Owls, the critically acclaimed UK hip hop super-crew, made up of Verb T, Fliptrix, BVA, and Leaf Dog, brought the hip hop world to its knees with their debut album, Nature's Greatest Mystery, all the way back in 2011. Now they are set to finally release one of the most anticipated hip hop albums of the year in the form of second album Natural Order. In case you need proof of their credentials, between them they've produced beats for Wu Tang members, recorded with KRS One, and run the High Focus and Real Life Drama labels.
With a list of achievements this long, you'd be right to be very, very excited for the album and tour coming next month. On top of this, the upcoming album has a list of guest features that will make you lose your mind, including fellow High Focus artists Jam Baxter and Dirty Dike, RLD stalwart Smellington Piff, and hip hop legend DJ Premier. If the first single, 'Single Flight' is anything to go by, this will be a very special LP. Opening with a beat that has Leaf Dog's classic production all over it, the track is a masterclass in smooth, soulful beats beneath fast, skilled rapping, and confirms High Focus' place at the top of the UK hip hop tree. Watch this space!
