Graveyard Gravitas

Proving that they’re the #1 crew in the area, Finland’s Cut Beetlez, the DJ/producer supersonic tag team upholding hip-hop innovation, and Philly-Cali connect the Nice Guys, bring a second slice of hip-hop to bury the opposition with.

The disorientating tempo of ‘Graveyard Gravitas’ begins with rapturous, almost theatrical liberation, before singing gloomy blues on what is a distinctive rap curio, the two teams owning the darkness down among the dead men, and sharpening scythes that have already tasted blood on previous single ‘Cut Ya Ass Up’. Just like its predecessor, the CBNG alliance goes in before quickly moving onto its next victim.

Cut Beetlez duo HP Lovescratch and DJ J-Man dropped the praiseworthy ‘Droppin’ Needles’ alongside Soundsci in 2017, and whose relaying of ‘Bad News’ with NYC’s Good People last year was applauded by DJ Magazine and BBC 6 Music’s Nemone. Nice Guys pair Dirty Winters and Lynx 196.9 came together with the Beetlez on the festive fresh ‘Party of the Year’/Namusia’ on the two-track ‘CBNGXMAS’, now joining forces to administer B-Boy corporal punishment ahead of the full-length ‘CBNG’ album.

“The forthcoming ‘CBNG’ album has been forged; on the wings of the thunderbird it rose, soaring on the blue painted sky, waiting to land on unexpected listeners around the globe."
