Worldwide besting from the million dollar Confucius MC! Coming off the top rope having told you to ‘Look Deeper’ earlier this year, he tags in Wann Sklobi, the Californian producer providing greasily guitared funk that’s all shades, stubble, smoke and sleaze from the wrong side of the tracks. Namechecking some of the ring’s biggest stars from wrestling’s glitzy heyday with the stock of a bare knuckle boxer, and able to skillfully blur parallels with today’s world disorder, nobody is taking the belt from South London’s finest. Understand that in ‘WW’, “the game’s fake, but the pain ain’t phony”.
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 Blah Records producer Morriarchi for last year’s ‘The Last Resort’ EP, and on the Jehst single 'Autumn Nights' at the tail-end of 2019.
