What you’ve missed — some electrifying and artistic hip-hop from some of rap’s best

Clocking in with the best rap tracks from August from around the UK, including songs from Apollo, Jehst, and Mic Righteous.

Apollo – “Skateland”

This feels like London. The relaxed release of lyrics further depart from a savagely overripe constant of music — some masquerading as hip-hop.

Apollo returns us to a bounty of rap’s serenity on a production matched precisely by his moreish delivery.

Spectacular Diagnostics, Jehst, Mr. Lif, Illogic – “If Not Now”

Returning hip-hop to a golden age of rampant lyricism and artistic form, the three rappers engage a beat filled with authentic intention. Spectacular Diagnostics provides a solid beat that will leave you deep in thought.

The track is lifted from Blah Records’ forthcoming album ‘Sorcery.’ Read our full review here.

Mic Righteous – “Antiscenemetic”

Margate’s finest drops another Big Zuu diss, tearing into the rapper on a video that presents private exchanges between the two.

This time, Mic Righteous spits flames over Eminem’ Criminal beat, a wild new version of melodic lyrics and charged poison tips.

Enny – “Cabin Feva”

Technically this landed last month, but its potency continues into August. Enny returned with her unique style of vocalisations.

Her laid back fluidity brace of poetic flows underscore the weight of her lyrics. We can’t wait to hear her upcoming album.

Verb T – “Clown College”

Verb T rolls off proverbial sayings and scenes from The Simpsons in an applaud worthy bounce of wordplay.

The video features images and skits from the beloved TV show projected onto the rapper as he reminisces on some of its most well known stories.
