Instrumental Health is the new-school boom bap bounce that incorporates the raw elements of Hip Hop and then spits them right back out into the modern world. Dusty Ohms and CooperT orchestrate a trippy hypnotic instrumental that punches hard allowing Nottingham’s AlexMiketheMic to dance lyrically on the track like only he can. Instrumental Health is a celebration of Hip Hop and a deep dive into both the healing and destructive powers of being an artist.
AlexMiketheMic tells the story of how being on stage is revitalising but being an artist can be depressing. His metaphors and flow paint a turbulent picture of searching for balance, which he finds in the ongoing presence of the beat. This builds a relentless pressure while still giving us a glimpse of the stars. All this is married in a pure groove and a classic ‘Looney Toons’ mantra.
After Cooper T and Dusty Ohms met at a ROT8TIONS beat-making event and found common musical ground, the pair set about collaborating on an instrumental that would evolve into ‘Instrumental Health’! They connected with Alex Mike the Mic when he was conducting a ‘Rap Therapy Show’. This unique number incorporates soulful chords and a catchy bassline wrapped up in a captivating head-nod beat, imparting 90s-era jazzy Hip Hop with a more modern glitchy vibe: a stage perfectly set for Alex Mike The Mic’s unmistakable, anthemic bars.
