Combining verses that are punchy, hard-hitting, and direct with a chorus that’s baked in rhythm and a suaveness to sink into, Kestine’s latest track sees the Irish rapper tackle complex issues of racial injustice through the hypocrisy of those who claim to stand behind the banner of justice and equality. Drawing from his own personal experiences, Kestine paints a track that’s baked in a realism and passion that you can’t help but be drawn into. The production on this record elevates his message even further, utilising a seamless ensemble of keys and saxophones to create an enchantingly soulful section.
‘U.N.I.T.Y’ preaches what it means, but also derides those who impede the path for it to take place. With inspired lyricism that’s matched with an ear for production that’s markedly different from the current crop, Kestine’s gospel inspired arrangements are bound to shake things up. It’s a wonderful blend of politically charged rap with personal experiences, all of which is brought to life in a scintillatingly smooth neo-soul composition.
