NEW MUSIC | THE REPEAT BEAT POET ‘THIS THAT’ FT SAFENATH

By Rishma Dhaliwal • On What is New ,

This That is The Repeat Beat Poet’s first offi­cial rap release, and sees him link­ing up with fel­low Chelms­ford-born emcee SafeNath (also drum­mer for indie-rap out­fit Rat­Boy) for a blis­ter­ing 3 minutes of con­trolled fury. Built on a driv­ing double bass sample This That bal­ances hard­line per­son­al and polit­ic­al raps from RBP with SafeNath’s adren­aline-fuelled rhythm-driv­en rhymes, held togeth­er by a boun­cing hook from the two young emcees.
