Concrete Jungle

Nneka

Gritty, politically-charged soul that hits with the weight of hip-hop and the spirit of reggae. Intense, honest music for those who demand substance with their groove.

February 2, 2010 · Epic

A relentless, confrontational energy balanced by moments of deep, spiritual tenderness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the kick drum on Heartbeat mimics a literal pulse under the frantic acoustic strumming.
The sudden shift into a double-time rap flow during the bridge of Kangpe that catches the listener off guard.
The haunting, skeletal guitar intro of Uncomfortable Truth that feels like a warning before the beat drops.

Drums+1.0σ

The instrumentation foregrounds drums a touch more than the catalogue usually does.
