Paten Locke – Wrong Soup [Single + Video]

Paten Locke‘sWrong Soup” is a trippy three minutes of listening…and I mean that in the best possible way. With an emphasis on clever similes and punchlines, Paten’s flow glides deftly over the song’s organ-loop-driven beat like a snake in tall grass. He takes his time, rolling couplets off in unpredictable patterns while maintaining a relatively calm demeanor. as if the impressive rhyme skills being displayed are no big deal. This record is reminiscent of years past when Hip-Hop was still more about verbal gymnastics and head-nodding beats than who just signed with which major label. The tracks accompanying video is a beautiful exercise in surreal pop-art that adds another layer of MF DOOM-like mystery and dopeness to the track. If nothing else, this track is proof positive that Paten Locke was one of the most talented hip-hop artists to ever pick up a microphone.

“Wrong Soup” is lifted from Paten Locke’s recently released Americancer album, which the rapper’s estate and Full Plate Records released posthumously following his death in 2019 (RIP).
