New music from the midwest hip-hop collective LAV.ISH via their single “Tethered“. Frontmen Carl Lane III and Nim Kaufman spend their time on the microphone either reeling off raps at a semi-automatic pace or chanting tuneful lines over a beat that fuses woofer rattling, trap-leaning sounds with laid-back funk. This head-nodding gem is filled with color and texture and vibrates on a frequency similar to another electrifying rhyme duo – ATL’s own EARTHGANG. LAV.ISH balances its eclectic, spirit-lift style with a firmly entrenched groove that pays tribute to the old while opening doors to the new. Giving a little insight into the song’s underlying theme, the group states “This song reflects human tendencies and how we naturally seem to drift towards security and safety. To be tethered is to be chained or restricted. A life with all boundaries completely set, is no life at all. In ‘Tethered’ we tried to capture the feeling we have when we’re being cut loose from our safe space and/or reality.”
