New Music: The Scribes ‘Positive Vibes’ (@TheScribes)

The first UK based act to sign with US label Kami­kazi Air­lines, The Scribes are a new wave hip hop four-piece con­sist­ing of co-lyr­i­cists Ill Lit­er­ate and Loki Steele, beat­box maes­tro Lacey and turn­tab­list Kenny Hec­tyc, whose unique tal­ents have com­bined to make a much her­al­ded sound quite unlike any oth­er in the scene today.The Scribes push the lim­its of the genre to almost break­ing point, mix­ing live instru­ment­a­tion with tra­di­tion­al hip hop sampling and bol­ster­ing beau­ti­ful and mov­ing musi­cian­ship to block rock­ing beats, cre­at­ing an intric­ate yet boom­ing back­drop for the MCs quick­fire flows.
