Ras, PdotO, N’veigh & Blaklez – RAP

by Phil Chard

The year was 2012, December if my memory serves. I was sitting idly by minding my business when I was sent a link to a song titled Al Pacino by the Cap City quartet of Ras, Pdot, N’veigh and Blaklez. The song was incredible and displayed the pure lyrical talent possessed by each of the labelmates, sadly there didn’t seem to be much of a push behind the track. Requests to get hold of the artwork proved fruitless , so I decided to design the artwork for them. (The song was that dope).

Now 2 years later the same 4 rappers are back again to do damage. This time on Rap the four rappers take turns trading bars on a track that boasts a 16 bit game sample and quarter note hi hats . Once again they all display an incredible amount of lyrical prowess as PDot & N’veigh engage in a battle of alliteration while Ras and Blaklez try out punchline each other.
