Slaugh – Tears
Slaugh - Tears
Release Date: Out Now
I am genuinely excited to
introduce you to Slaugh, aka Themba Mtwazi, a British-Zimbabwean rapper who is
based in Nottingham and who has put his PhD in Art, Design and Architecture on
hold to bring us this fresh, new sound. ‘Tears’ has a beautifully blended laid-back
melody and skittish beat that is held together by the insistent and smooth flow
of Slaugh. When we get to the chorus, we are treated to Slaugh’s soulful vocal
but don’t be fooled, this is a track that takes on global atrocities, injustices
like Grenfell Tower and shows off a strong moral and philosophical compass. British
and African influences are all there in the mix, but I think Slaugh has a sound
all of his own and there is more meaning in these lyrics that you get on an
entire NOW compilation. Oh, and there’s a cracking video too so it’s pretty
much the complete package and, therefore, I’m hoping it will be a while until
Slaugh becomes Dr Slaugh.
