Mixtape Review: Beanstock Records Presents: U.K.K.K (Unkle Kuzzin Keet Kolbang)

Straight out of Boston, hip-hop collective BEANSTOCK have risen with their first project of the year titled ‘Beanstock Presents U.K.K.K’, which sees the record label’s recruits adopt a different sound…

The 13-track set boasts a menacingly dope drive in which the gang describe as ‘Grit-hop’. Tracks such as ‘Big New Face’, ‘Ginger’ and ‘High Maintenance’ momentarily interrupts the mixtape flow with a joyous bounce of old-school R&B and a funky swag.

The project is a true testament that these guys have no problem at all in reinventing their sound..and this is the very reason why they set tongues continuously wagging in their hometown. See song recommendations below and head right here to listen to their latest joints.

Must Listen: Sit Back & Listen, Above Us, Marked For Death, High Maintenance

New Track: Moving Targets: Wild Rivers

Despite being an incredible 2018 for WILD RIVERS, which saw them tour across North America as well as meeting people who share a connection to their music, the four-piece band somehow felt disconnected from all the things that provided love and comfort – home.

Recorded live off the floor with producer, Dan Hosh, their latest single, ‘Moving Target,’ encompasses all their feelings of being far away from the comfort zone, accompanied with the vulnerable guitar plucks and the irresistibly lush harmonies, which provide a rich folk/singer-songwriter affair.

Despite being disconnected from home whilst on tour, the guys are gearing up to headline some shows around their native country, Canada (see tours dates below).

Be sure to look out for more material from WILD RIVERS, as they’ve got really something special. Check out ‘Moving Targets’ below:
