THE MANTIS CHAPTER

‘Sacrificail Offerings’
(Dropzone Records)
www.dropzonerecords.com

Coming out on the highly respected Dropzone Records out of Scotland this new EP from The Mantis Chapter is well worth checking for if you like that original ‘Brit-Core’ style of Hip-Hop. As the title suggests, it’s on a deep mystical tip a little like early nineties UK Rap recorded in a grave yard! Yeh, its spooky atmospherics and deep basslines with fast rolling raps delivered very professionally and very lyrical. Production remains tight through-out, but the ‘Back 2 The Battle’ featuring Tekneek and Geta really gets the EP to a brilliant start. Next up is ‘Eastern Mystics’ which again drops deep with gentle musicalities and hard hitting rhymes. The other stand-out track is ‘The Witchin’ featuring Dropzone Records head-honcho and Scotland’s number one rapper Eastborn. Eastborn spits with ounces of experience making this track something of a real Scottish/English rhyme-fest! Make sure you try and search this out and future releases on Dropzone.
