EP Review: Styly Cee & Cappo – The H-Bomb EP (Son Records)
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 10 November 2008
The Nottingham hip hop scene is one of the most under-appreciated music scenes in the UK and is long overdue some proper recognition as one of the most creative and innovative hubs of the genre in the world. As a rapper, Cappo is untouchable, a man who has a vast back catalogue of classic tracks, including my favourite hip hop track of all time, ‘The Looniest’, and can easily silence any remaining naysayers with his outstanding ability to freestyle live for hours on end. Teaming up with Styly Cee, another mainstay of the Nottingham scene, the pair have created this stunning EP, with an old school hardcore vibe. Using an excellent collection of heavy beats, funky guitars, fucked up strings and devastating vocal samples, including brilliant use of Jimi Hendrix on ‘Time Will Tell’, Styly has created the perfect complement to Cappo’s heavy-accented, razor sharp flows. For these tracks, they’ve headed back to a fork in the hip hop road where everyone else went off in a different direction and prove that there was still plenty more to be explored down this route.
