ELLIS MEADE - ALL I CAN DO
'I wanted people to hear what sounds and artistic styles I'm into without compromising my sound or my collaborators and keep everything as organic as possible.'
A combination of musical influences and a homegrown style proves the LP as an interesting listen in terms of production, with many of the tracks including the dark yet bouncy grime-infused banger 'Jack Ups' feat Sparkz and the amerimanc old skool track 'Shit thats Dope' having been produced by Ellis Meade himself. Guest production comes from big names such as the UK Hip-Hop lord Pete Cannon, Room 2 partner Kydro and Proclaim Knowledge. Check the sick visuals below!
A consistency in terms of writing and vocal ability moves the listener on a 'sonic journey' with ease, with Meade expressing content ranging from personal concerns to gritty social observation, partying and storytelling. 'All I Can Do' is full of hooks, chorus parts and catchy rhymes yet still manages to maintain that underground and poetic vibe with some well-crafted and energetic beats thrown in allowing Ellis to demonstrate a versatile flow. Guest rappers include fellow Voodoo Black member Sparkz, iLLChill from L.A and Boston-born France-based rapper Mattic.
Although releasing a wider and international sound the release does feel every bit organic in terms of both vibe and content with the Mancunian having both absorbed and reflected his environment through his music
