Oak Dreams - Benny Diction brings the Nature Vibes

One of the best things about rap and hiphop music is that if you get involved, you might be lucky enough to end up being great mates with some seriously talented people. Bennydiction is one of those gems, and I remember first hearing him perform the lyrics to Oak Dreams as an accapella and thinking 1) Damn, this is amazing, what a sick concept, 3) Wow, that hook is brilliant and 3) Argh, I wish I had written this! 

Well I'm so glad Benny did, and then put it to such a brilliant, core shuddering beat from Beatsmith Extrodinarre Able 8...and then got this epic one-take video (nicely handled by One Shot Sweets) shot at North London's Alexandra Palace where some beautiful trees in the twilight serve to accentuate Benny's striking nature-based thoughts and ideas with an outstanding metaphore of the mind. 

The Beat - Stay relaxed and gently sway to it

The Philosophy - Stay Rooted!

Oak Dreams - The Mind sows seeds, with time and Energy these ideas develop into tall trees.

Now go and get handy with a spear or a watering can!!

Caspar Grant - Snake Oil

Caspar Grant teams up with High Focus artist Kashmere (Strange U) for And What's fourth release. This hypnotic banger showcases Caspar's intricate flow with an incredible adeptness at conjuring up surreal yet poignantly specific imagery embedded in the chaos of reality over Kashmere's lush production. "Snake Oil is the story of one man attempting to find a sliver of meaningful truth in a world gone mad. As right wing demagogues, corrupt lawmakers and unprincipled media tycoons distort and manipulate the global narrative an ordinary citizen attempts to do right by his loved ones and positively contribute to society. Immersed in the backdrop of Kashmere's pulsating, apocalyptic rhythms Caspar Grant does his best to make sense of wholly illogical circumstances."
