Stratz – Likkle More
Stratz - Likkle More
Release Date: Out Now
I used to know a woman who would
say ‘likkle’ instead of little, ‘bokkle’ instead of bottle and so on. It bugged
the hell out of me but largely because it was completely out of context with the
way she spoke otherwise. So, I’ve got to admit that seeing the title of the new
track from London Hip-Hop artist ‘Stratz’ induced a similar response to the
recent footage of Theresa May dancing. That said, I’m not one for judging books
by their covers (or titles for that matter) so I tuned in and I’m glad I dead.
‘Likkle More’ has a simple chord structure that reminds me of Clean Bandit in
the first instance but then Stratz comes in with his generous flow and the beat
kicks in to give this a nudge along the way. With the spirit of Bob Marley
nodding approval from the back of the room, Stratz weaves his tale of sharing
and helping this in greater need atop those sparse chords and punchy beats.
This track is sold a summer anthem and while the flow is easy there is a sense
of popping your collar against the fresh autumn winds about this one which adds
a different flavour to the mix. Flying in the face of US rappers who seem to
only want to accumulate wealth and fame, Stratz has a refreshing approach and
one that might just spark some kind of movement or at least make you give the
next busker you see 50p.
