London-based emcee Benny Diction and Melbourne-based producer Able8 give you 'Over Here', the first single from their forthcoming collaborative album tentatively titled 'A2B'.
Over a beat that combines the 'true school' sampling ethics of classic hip-hop with the sensibilities of modern electronica, Benny displays the witty, intricately-woven rhymes that make him one of the UK scene's unique vocal talents. The result is a jazzy, upbeat banger that you can either relax or move to.
The video, edited by Dave Silver (who has previously worked with the likes of Beardyman and the Foreign Beggars), compliments the light-hearted, loose feel of the track perfectly and reflects the fun the crew had in putting it all together!
Expect more from Able8 and Benny Diction, both individually and collaboratively, in the coming months.
In the meantime, you can download 'Over Here' b/w 'Lost It' for free/donation. If you fancy yourself a budding producer, the vocal track is also available for remixes.
