“Manga Carta” by Melanin 9.
The opening title track captures M9′s gift for painting descriptive images in your mind’s eye as he tells how he will “pose for cameras with ex-felons using hands as weapons”.
Whilst the Anatomy-produced “Landslide” features melodic pianos sprinkled over bass-heavy beats like gentle rain on cold concrete.
With the UK microphone fiend mixing mystical wordplay and harsh street imagery in his rhymes.
