Producer Vice Beats from Bristol links with Brooklyn based MC Napoleon Da Legend and the inimitable Blu. Connected is a deeply personal track, exploring connection in different ways. Connected is the lead single from Vice Beats’ Aspects LP.
Blu speaks on faith and love, with Napoleon expressing his love for life, emotional resilience and overcoming barriers. The duo are joined on Vice beat’s soulful production by Jabba Tha Kut on scratches, Mac Lloyd on guitar and bass, and Thalassic on saxophone.
This track introduces the broader aims of “Aspects”, exploring connection in a wide variety of ways through a backdrop of Hip Hop blending live instrumentation with a Boom bap aesthetic.
Aspects will be released via HHV on the 26th May with the launch party on the 24th at Lost Horizon in Bristol. The artwork has been created by Nearski, the super talented Japanese designer, who is a regular feature for High Focus Records and many more.
