Essa & Pitch 92
Resonance
This project from the duo is co-produced, mixed and mastered by Viva Cee, an extraordinarily versatile up and coming writer/producer, known for fusing international sounds with contemporary black music styles. Across the 13-tracks, we have the posse track 'HeavyweightS,' which features the likes of Doc Brown, Klashnekoff, Kyza, Tony D and Reveal amongst others. There are a bunch of additional features too, including West London legend King Kashmere on 'Sick,' multi-talented Nottingham MC Karizz (formerly Karizma) on 'All For The Love' and 'Back Around,' and several appearances from Brotherman. The album exudes true-skool quality from beginning to end, encompassing soulful, jazzy boom bap throughout, from the opening title track, to the reflective single 'Right Now,' the uptempo bounce of 'That's The One,' with a sprinkle of skippier double-time flavours on 'Almost There' and 'Seasoned,' all seamlessly sequenced.
