industry poet, a Manchester-based musician, makes slowcore hip hop. On \u201cBLACK FACE,\u201d he unhurriedly recites his lines over a ruminative guitar riff swiped from Duster\u2019s \u201ctime glitch.\u201d He\u2019ll mix quotidian worries\u2013like looking like his father because of his dreadlocks\u2013with a poetic description of creating lyrics (\u201cPen and paper\/I can paint a panorama\u201d). As the sweeping instrumentation surrounds him, he moves from tossed off asides (\u201cNo money nigga\/I was smoking marijuana\u201d) to absurdist threats (\u201cParanoid police\/feed \u2018em to piranhas\u201d). Around the song\u2019s midpoint, he heightens his voice with effects, making him sound as if he\u2019s rapping underwater. It feels like being submerged in his thoughts.<\/p>\n

With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it\u2019s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all\u2014no matter how tapped in they are. That\u2019s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.<\/em><\/p>\n
