Supplying the Demand is the latest EP from a duo featuring producer Stealf & emcee Mista Flix who go by the name of Raw Product signed to the powerhouse label know as De Facto Entertainment, the EP dropped today and features a total 7 tracks of pure boom bap goodness with the likes of Jehst, Micall Parknsun, Twizzy & Cappo featuring alongside Raw Product. They hooked us up with a promo copy and we've hitting it head on with a full review of their bars, beats and boombap essence!
The EP kicks off with an short acapella intro/skit showcasing them building the rhymes and beat as they go along. Track 2 is titled Count Me In featuring a creepy and sinister beat, laced with lucid delivery, hard hitting bars and oozing essence that reminds me of some old school days of hip hop. Sicksteen follows through with tranquil vibes and lyrical wizardry explaining why they love a 16 bar scheme, the legend Micall Parknsun also features on the track creating a sick collaboration and an instant banger. Hide & Seek keeps the sinister vibes at the forefront of the EP, Mista Flix proceeds to bombard the beat with his rhymes showcasing to the scene the intricate and unique rhyme style he brings to the table. Major Weight(Made you wait) is one of our favorites from the EP blasting out an insane boombap beat with skippy flows touching on array of multiple subjects - definitely a head banger. Akaimatics initially builds by the beat alone, getting your head noddin while Mista Flix lunges in with highly volatile flows and delivery lighting the beat a flame with ease.
Choose Your Weapon is without a doubt our favorite track on the EP riding alongside Jehst you can expect to hear both of these emcees create an instant classic, Mista Flix opens up with the first verse, Jehst with the second with finally reverting back for the finishing verse from Flix. As always there's always a risk of being outshine by having such a big feature on a track, however it's safe to say Mista Flix holds it down flawlessly! Check out the official video below.
The below track is only available if you purchase the physical copy of the CD, titled 'Now You Know' featuring alongside Bristol's very own Twizzy, member of the notorious Three Headed Beast trio. You can expect to hear nothing but homegrown flows, laced with pound for pound head noddin bars and boombap production, certainly a track you need! Check out the official video below.
