01 Confucius MC 'Look Deeper'
(W.Carabine-Glean, S.Goldstein)
Produced and mixed by Sam Zircon
Recorded by Jehst at Lab Time Studios, London, UK
Mastered by Walter Coelho at Walter Coelho Mastering, Lisbon, Portugal
Holding a crystal ball with a vice-like grip before smashing it to smithereens, Confucius MC imploring you to ‘Look Deeper’ takes snapshots of seasonal gloom and bitterness. Lead in by ghost train rumbles en route to realness and foundation, a QBC warning shot made unmistakable by pianos and horns laid in the cut by Blah's alchemist of anxiety Sam Zircon, Confucius’ fixed gaze examining the inner mind’s eye is a classic hoods-up-heads-down anthem telling you to keep your chin up and your chest out while fact blurs into fiction. Shit out of South London is about to get hectic.
Cited by Kae Tempest as "a huge influence on my life, my character and my rhyme-style", Confucius has been carving his own echelon in the UK hip-hop landscape alongside working at a London primary school teaching the art of writing and lyricism, on top of running creative workshops for young people in his community. A top tier collaborator who has worked with Blu & Swarvy, Verb T & Pitch 92 and Micall Parknsun & Giallo Point, Confucius earned rave reviews as one half of Old Paradice with producer Morriarchi for last year’s ‘The Last Resort’ EP, and on the Jehst single 'Autumn Nights' at the tail-end of 2019.
