There’s no better feeling then coming across an underground release and it actually being half good, and the Haanshake is just that and more.
Both parties involved I’d never heard of before, man I’m pleased i do now. Emcee Haan teams up with producer Sixth sense to release their free debut. London based Haan has a almost hypnotic style of deliverance, weapon of choice being, an in-depth understanding of various life subjects and interesting life concepts which he puts across while avoiding the cliche whiney preacher flex, with an extensive vocabulary to back him up further this guy showcases a lot of strength, Sixth sense on the Production movements kills it for me, working heavily within looping strings and tangy drum snaps laying almost eery tracks like “Be like you”, complimenting with tracks like “The ending” which takes us back to familiar hip hop territories, the guys productions are dope.
The whole album stinks with talent bunched with intelligence of the genre. It’s also FREE, seriously download this and support.
