Prepare yourselves for another heavyweight release from two of the UK scene’s most consistent and seasoned wordsmiths, Wild Samson and Airklipz. The talented duo reunite for their latest collaborative masterpiece 'War Of The Roses', a superb follow-up to their last outing 'Battle Of Hastings'. This six-track EP captures the essence of raw lyricism with boundary-pushing authentic production. With decades in the game, Airklipz once again brings his trademark intricate wordplay and vivid narrative ability, while Wild Samson delivers his unmistakable voice, avant-garde flair, and fearless approach to concept-driven rap. Together, they form a partnership that effortlessly balances classic hip-hop foundations with modern experimentalism, resulting in an EP that manages to feel both timeless and futuristic.
Production comes from an impressive line-up of beat-makers, each offering their own distinctive flavour. RHC95 sets the tone from the jump with 'The Grand O', a bold opener layered with atmosphere and grit. AKABlueSky keeps the momentum strong with the sonically rich video track 'Rare Minerals', before London legend D7 provides the perfect canvas for the motivational anthem 'Aim For The Best', featuring standout contributions from Trademark Blud and DJ Amo. The energy escalates again on the title track, with Jay Phatty on production and DJ Amo returning with precision cuts. Micall Parknson brings his unique production touch on 'She's A Killer', matched by a powerful appearance from Jimmy Screech, while Jtavis closes out the project with the emotive and reflective 'February', joined by legendary UK rapper LATE. Packed with raw emotion and lyrical dexterity, 'War Of The Roses' stands as a testament to Wild Samson and Airklipz’s ongoing evolution as artists and cultural contributors.
This is an EP built for listeners who crave authenticity, innovation, and music with something real to say.
