When it comes to 'Synchronicities', Inkswel is pretty good at spotting them as he's done it so often and next off the rank is Bloomy Meadows along some names you'll also recognise who want to join in on 'The Passion'.
From the Inkswel/Andre Espeut album 'Synchronicites' (see review HERE) we know that Inkswel is so good at weaving modern soul, hip-hop, broken beats, some jazz, house and more. This project with Bloomy Meadows stays true to hip-hop culture throughout the 11 tracks.
UK hip-hop is back even if there's an International supporting cast of that's raided Inkswel's 20 odd year contact book - check this lot out; US legends Lyrics Born and Abstract Rude along with Reggie B (USA), People Without Shoes (USA), Küf Knotz (USA - who we know from 'Glow' - see review HERE), Level Mtindo (Africa), Leonard Charles (NZ), Taiaha (SA), Erin Buku (SA - who we know from 'Listen' - see review HERE) and Kultar Ahluwalia (SA).
At times it's a bit of an ode to ATCQ/Souls Of Mischief/West Coast hip-hop cool and the younger me wouldn't find the potty mouth instances irksome but that's just a small gripe as these guys are more than passionate about their art.
'Passion' is a much over used and mis-used word but not in this case.
