This new single is entitled "Back 2 Basics" taken from the critically acclaimed release "Configa Presents: Calm Before The Storm" produced by Configa and featuring the vocal talents of John Graham. This is a slice of very much needed real Hip-Hop that is a must any true Hip-Hop fan. The track expresses an observation on the state of the game today, representing for true hip hop in the face of "appealing lies" and "avatars". Configa provides the perfect backdrop, with a beat that takes us back to the days of boom-boxes and sneakers without laces, no frills or gimmicks employed here, just a dope break beat based head nodder that fits the song title perfectly.
The video, shot and edited by Nick Light, takes us on a quick fire journey around the Mecca of hip hop, New York, including stopping by The Bronx and DJ Kool Herc's old residence. From audio to imagery this track screams REAL hip hop, organically produced and expertly delivered in an age of plastic nonsense. Also check out Configa's previous video (also shot and edited by Nick Light) for the track "We On Fire" featuring one of the UK's finest, Jaz Kahina. This is another Boom Bap banger that all REAL headz will love and appreciate; this track has already received an immense underground support.
