Son Silva isn’t your average hip-hop artist. The experimental boundary pushing London based rapper is ever the expressionist, laying out his thoughts in powerful lyrical driven deliveries that reject conventional flows and deliveries for his own unique style. On ‘Bastion’, his indulgent and encompassing song writing meets its match in a luscious and ground-breaking arrangement that paints an intoxicating soundscape to completely sink yourself into. It feels so starkly different from any other hip-hop track coming out of the UK, completely opting for an entirely alternative production style that exudes defiance, pomp, and splendour, while being effortlessly poetic in its expression.
A name to watch out for, undoubtedly. Son Silva’s style is bound to find more than a few takers if for nothing other than his eclectic experiments.
