On the lead track ‘Back And Forth’ we hear a delicate jazz piano sample coupled with a thick bassline and hard, yet swinging drums reminiscent of A Tribe Called Quest. This provides the background for Feras Ibrahim’s self-exploratory rhymes set above Hamdan Al Abri’s mesmerizing harmonies. On the track ‘Names’ Scott combines slick instrumentation with loose percussion sequencing to provide the organic groove that is often missing from a lot of contemporary hip hop, whilst the two MCs trade bars skillfully. On the third track ‘The Ish’ he provides a “lounge hip hop interpretation of Still #1 by Boogie Down Productions” whilst Jibberish laces the beat with humorous metaphors, questioning where is the soul in much of modern-day music.
