Canna Man and Dark Matter, both hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, team up to deliver “Tribunals,” a track produced by DEAD PERRY. This joint peels back the layers of city life – threading through themes of crime and survival. It starts with those somber electric piano notes and an upright bassline, like a dusty sample from some old 70s jazz vinyl. A few beats into the song, both Canna Man and the drums ease into focus – both sounding brawny and built for conflict.
Canna Man spits first, dropping verses that paint a vivid picture of his grind. The voice he commands is gravelly, bringing to life scenes of chain smoking, moving work, and always staying cautious . The piano melody shifts with his flow, the bass getting heavier and thicker beneath his bars. Subtle string flares sneak in on occasion, adding another strand to the overall sound. His voice crackles with tension, as if he’s spring loaded and ready to detonate.
Dark Matter steps up next, bringing a relatively more energy to the piece. His voice is steady, clear, cutting through the beat. He spits about staying smart, dodging traps, and the fight to rise above. He also calls out how the internet’s turning fools into dry snitches. The beat stays locked, tight, with that DIY, crate-digger vibe. Snippets of native New Yorkers talking about their life and times weave through the track, their voices adding gravity and realness to the track. For both men, it’s all about strategy and survival in this world – no matter if you rest your head in Copenhagen or Chi-town.
This track is sobering and stone-faced hip-hop; simple in approach but layered with meaning. Canna Man and Dark Matter both drop rock solid verses that apply pressure to the beat, showing both their smarts and art. Salute to all involved for delivering some top-tier work.
