London’s rapper / producer duo Phoenix Da Icefire & Husky Brown have today released their highly impressive new album ‘Panacea’ through New Dawn Records.
As a member of Triple Darkness, Phoenix has long been regarded by many both at home and overseas as one of the most gifted lyricists to emerge from the UK. Husky’s productions are a rare and dynamic fusion of contemporary hip hop, electronica, dub, bass, R&B, and soul which provide the soundtrack for a narrative addressing many of today’s most pressing issues. Delivered with trademark dexterous rhymes and creative wordplay, Phoenix sets his existential sights on the environment, mental health, knife crime, racism, well being, relationships, and inner city life.
Facing the challenges head on, the engaging commentary still retains a refreshing message of hope at its core related through metaphorical concepts as abstract as they are grounded in reality. A multi-dimensional and unique debut offering which pushes boundaries and breaks from formulaic convention. Essential listening.
