Nu North's Danger official music video is out now! The video and the track are on some straight rugged east coast type ish with a northern twist! Nu North Brings back the 1996 Blahzay Blahzay raw hip hop classic Danger. On this track the three Nu North emcees do a great job capturing the streets with gritty but witty lyrics and tight production that gives this song an epic soundscape. Equally notable is that Shazeke’s singing sounds great here even though the Blahzay version did not have any female vocals on it!
This song is catchy enough to have already garnered underground radio-play worldwide. It keeps the main elements of the Blazhay instrumental however adds a fascinatingly effective concoction of stern electric riffs with lots of character and a scorching warm southwest-bluesy groove.
DANGER was recorded at the world-famous Diamond Factory Studio, produced by Evil Genius, mixed and mastered by Chad of Electric City Productions.
