Description
Release Information:
We all know the old quote: “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players”, but now in 2021 it feels as if Shakespeare was more of a visionary than we ever could have imagined.
For the next single to be taken from his new album, ‘Somewhere’, Confucius MC once again joins forces with label boss and long-term collaborator, Jehst, as they lift the curtain on the ‘World Stage’.
Lyrically, it’s a finely woven tapestry from two masters of their craft. Confucius is the opening act, fortifying our consciousness with his usual blend of knowledge and honesty - “Lost my way, became a victim of ambition / Let my dreams out, but now I control my vision” - before Jehst enters stage left, with a barrage of bars that will have you hitting the reload to unearth every gem - “They circle round like vultures when the lions slaughter / For that lowbrow culture of the highest order”.
Punctuated with their own interpretation of an iconic pop hook that keeps the global theme alive, and finished off with Confucius dipping his toes into more soulful waters, World Stage delivers goods you didn’t even know you needed in your life.
Keor Meteor is the man behind the beat, welcoming more swells of jazz to the proceedings, as flourishes of flute and syncopated drums, give the track even more enrichment.
Bio:
Cited by Kae Tempest as "a huge influence on my life, my character and my rhyme-style", Confucius MC has been carving his own echelon in the UK hip-hop landscape alongside running creative workshops for young people in his community.
A top tier collaborator, Con earned rave reviews as one half of Old Paradice with Blah Records producer Morriarchi and featured heavily on Jehst's 'Billy Green is Dead' LP and 2019 single 'Autumn Nights'.
