South London based Hip Hop artist Ultro_Eko began releasing music in summer 2019 but has quickly displayed a distinct, varied and passionate voice not found in your average rapper.
Ultra_Eko’s newest project, Kitchen Sink Dramas, is his debut EP and includes a collection of thoughtful, often reflective, lyrically deep songs that are rooted in highly enjoyable, mood-setting musical compositions. His storytelling approach further adds to the depth of his lyricism and the potency of each song.
It’s safe to say this long time Hip Hop Head is impressed. Although, I will admit that the album has grown on me after repeated listens. Regardless, if you truly love Hip Hop for what Hip Hop is, and always been, Ultra_Eko delivers the vibes and the substance that any true Head can and will appreciate.
Often sharing stories that come from a darker place, themes listeners will absorb through the lyrics and moods include reflecting on regret, relationship breakdowns, the search for understanding of self, the fragile identities we create and grasp onto and more topics for listeners who enjoy their Hip Hop lyricism with a lot of deep thought, soul searching and reflection.
I’m a new fan. Ultra_eko, you’re now on my radar.
Soul’s Code and King of the Wild Things are potentially my favorites but just listen to the entire EP, you won’t be disappointed. I am thoroughly enjoying for the…well, I’ve lost count. Just go bump it!
