by Duke & Jones have been killing the game for the past few years. Over this span, they’ve showcased their diverse talent and ability to move across genres and sounds. Their most recent release ‘Reflection’ was a vibey house groove while their previous release ‘Hold On’ was a pop-leaning future bass bop. While their music doesn’t miss, we feel they’re at their best when they’re exploring a grittier sound. Track’s like ‘Jurrassic’ and their Deadbeats EP Solace are what we are truly craving from the dynamic duo. Who better to get them back to the gritty than grime legend Flowdan and Deadbeats? Out today ‘Trenches’ is everything you’d hope for from such a massive collaboration.
From grime, to dnb and dubstep, Flowdan’s iconic deep voice and razor-sharp raps are never anything less than captivating. Taking center stage on ‘Trenches’ the veteran emcee welcomes listeners to the terrordome before unleashing raw bars. Duke & Jones provide a dark and exotic sound palette that evolves with each passing bar. When Flowdan’s first verse concludes ‘Trenches’ descends into a cavernous bass-driven drop. From there Flowdan commands the beat with the militant precision of a true OG. Dark, filthy and anthemic, ‘Trenches’ is a masterful collaboration that demands repeat spins.
Stream ‘Trenches’ below and grab it via Deadbeats.
