Impressive flow, a solid hip-hop drum groove, a gliding, boomy bass, and a loop that’s hard not to keep replaying.
“Non Stop” actually dates back to 2011, recorded as part of the sessions for The Element Of Surprise album. On par with the best moments of that album, this unreleased gem is possessed by Confidence’s use of boomin’ drums and piano/horn stabs, fluid cuts from DJ Technic, and Rashad’s smooth lyrical delivery. The result goes down as a spiritual sibling of the 90's era hip-hop sound.
Rashad, the Brooklyn-based MC, brings that nimble, effortless flow, switching between tight, detailed bars and catchy hooks. On the production side, Boston-based Confidence does what he does best - chopping samples into something warm, punchy, and full of character, favouring that classic one-producer/one-MC dynamic of the golden years.
А proper throwback and fresh addition to your soulful hip-hop rotation.
