RnB/Hip Hop | Wednesday 22nd April 2015 | Christina
Following on from the successful release of The Initiative, his debut album and short anti-gun film of the same name, UK hip-hop hotshot Kingpin drops the first video from his second album Art Of Survival, set for release on May 21st via Underworld Konnect.
In ‘Capital Punishment’, Kingpin addresses the struggles of life in contemporary London through his smart and incisive wordplay. This is a must-watch and must-listen for all Londoners.
With the Art Of Survival, Kingpin you on a journey through boom-bap beats and clever social observations without compromising the explosive, hard-hitting delivery he is known for, creating a soundscape of his inner-city life. With its jazzy samples and commentary on contemporary society, and with collabs from established and newly emerging producers including Chemo aka Telemachus, Strange Neighbour and Chairman Maff, this is one for both the crate diggers and new age fans of hip-hop.
