As two of UK Rap\u2019s linchpins, North London\u2019s finest, Benny Banks and Joe Black, come together to drop their collaborative mixtape \u2018BnB\u2019 and the latest record to drop is \u2018Murder These Rhymes\u2019.<\/p>\n
Sonically engaging from the get go the deep reverb on the bass coupled with the menacing snare and looping keys is an instant draw in to the UK Rap world, courtesy of 1stborns production. With their two standout voices, Benny and Joe go bar-for-bar on the hook and back-to-back on the verses, firing out warning shots with their raw and confident bars in a magnificent representation of what they do best.<\/p>\n
With Joe Black previously being highlighted by Charlie Sloth for The Guardian as \u201ca huge problem\u201d and Benny Banks receiving similar plaudits from the likes of Clash Magazine following their early mixtape releases including \u2018Realionaire\u2019, \u2018King of the Underground\u2019 and the \u2018Patiently Waiting\u2019 volumes, the pair have become widely regarded as two of the scene\u2019s leading figures. Early material saw them at the forefront of the rise of UK Rap as individually they helped to redefine the sound, charging through previous barriers and stereotypes to spit\u00a0conscious rhymes. Talking about real-life situations that they were living through not only made them genuine, it also made them relatable to an entire generation.<\/p>\n
Now both highly established rappers with an exceptional legacy of music to their names, Benny Banks and Joe Black continue to demonstrate exactly why they are the front-runners of the game with the release of \u2018BnB\u2019 as they have already started to light up the airwaves with \u2018Murder These Rhymes\u2019.
