GG Peney produces while MazeyJune delivers searing vocals on a boom-bap triumph

Swiss-born rapper Crispthecook is on form again as he delights with a brand new single — In a World Like This.

The song features UK singer and producer team MazeyJune and GG Peney, who once again conduct an impressive orchestra over a solid staple of boom-bap beats.

In a World Like This is a Hip-Hop Movie Score

Crisp has sharpened his quill for a new chapter with poison dart like precision. Throw Peney into the mix, and you have a volcanic crew of sizeable proportions.

The Life Long Records director is a consistent force in the game, having prepped the operating table for many a legend. Right now, he’s a production captain of the UK hip-hop scene following a strange period for the genre. This time, he turns his focus to the Swiss artist.

Filled with impressively utilised samples, Crisp positions himself like the patient hunter in wait, with eyes peering out from the bush at his target.

When asked about the track, the rapper said: “It’s about life in a money-driven world full of temptations. We’re all influenced and shaped by the world we grew up in; people choose different ways. Some get stuck in a cycle of numbness, while others try to find a way out of a repetitive and limiting life.”

The Verdict

It’s dramatic and poetically enchanting, and as stated before — a cinematic beauty. It’s easy to imagine it layered over a screenplay, as the lyricist laments and deconstructs an air of the uncertainty he paints.

The world is complex, and on In a World Like This, he has certainly laid bare — in its entirety — a bewildering lust for its complexities.
