New music from Cold Medina courtesy of the single & video “Pyramids” – a lo-fi filtered verbal clap that balances the weight of tradition and cultural pride with the rigors and grit of modern life. This boom-clap hip-hop gem is a standout track from the recent collabo album A Quest Called Medina, produced by Sydequest. The track is a balmy mix of beat-tape blurred drums and a jazzy loop, layered with breezy woodwinds and tinkling electric piano notes. It’s a rock-solid, straight-from-the-crate groove that honors its roots while still sprouting new leaves. Medina‘s raspy resonance cuts through even the densest of beats, and delivers lines like “…Put the P in poet/ Yo, you don’t seem to know it/ With Sydequest, the sound system, and it’s so explosive,” with a style that’s as strong and smooth as a Cuban cigar. If you’re in search of a vibe that defies the ordinary but still keeps your soul stirred, “Pyramids” is the remedy.
