VerbalSwardz-BackSpin

Germany’s Backspin Magazine compile a weekly column of hip hop & rap releases from around the world in their “Plattenkiste” series, snapshot reviews highlighting what they rate

They have just picked up on the new EP “Verbal sWARdz” by London rapper & producer Iron Braydz which releases on 14th April. The approximate translation reads as follows :

“Iron Braydz makes “Verbal sWARdz” dark and completely convincing all along the line. Simple beats and an aggressive flow is the secret recipe of “Verbal sWARdz”. That Iron Braydz has been influenced by Wu-Tang Clan, Immortal Technique, and Public Enemy you can sense throughout While the record may be missing a dash of variety, Iron Braydz and “Verbal sWARdz” is exactly the right thing to roll the car’s windows down and arrive in the City like a boss.”

You can read the whole column HERE

Long considered one of the most skilled lyricists in the UK, the newest member of Triple Darkness has picked up a lot of international media interest in this release, the results of which will be seen in the weeks ahead. The EP is the first of a series of releases planned in the year ahead, and taken from it is the joint “Millennium” which features Organized Konfusion’s Prince Po

VerbalsWARdz-Blacksheep

North London Emcee & producer Iron Braydz release his new Verbal sWARdz EP on 14th April, the first since his 2012 mixtape Holla @ Braydz

The first of a series of new solo releases over the next 12 months for the newest member of Triple Darkness, he will also be appearing in a new independent film “Night Bus” directed by Simon Baker who picked up several awards for his “Paralympic” series for Channel 4.

British online hip hop magazine Blacksheep are one of the first to run the rule over the 10 track EP, and the review, afforded a 4 star rating opens with a desription of Braydz as having “talent to spare: verbally dextrous, insightful, passionate, determined with playful wordplay; enough to set him aside from the competition.”

A track by track synopsis follows before reviewer Andrew Kay summarizes “Verbal Swardz conjures up memories of classic Wu-Tang Clan with retro samples and drum patterns, with additional complexity in the production. Iron Bradyz is a talented and passionate MC- it comes across every time he rhymes. There’s a lot going on here and this deserves to be consumed by those who love a proper U.K MC thinking outside the musical box.”

There have been a couple releases from the EP so far, the audio for “Millennium” featuring Organized Konfusion’s Prince Po and most recently the new video for “Dredd”. Check them out
