Edinburgh-based rapper, Conscious Route is back with the final single release from his highly acclaimed ‘Belterz’ album.

The two-track release opens with ‘Ducks in a Row,’ which sees him unite with Lynzie Dray, who recently released her ‘S.H.E.’ album remix project, and Miles Better, who has collaborated with Conscious Route before, both in recording and onstage.

‘Ducks in a Row’ hits with a rumbling bassline, skipping snare break, and melodic instrumentation from producer Mackenzie, that leaves plenty of space for the MCs to deliver on how people are seen as commodities and stereotypes in society while Lynzie ties it all together with her lilting, folk-influenced vocals.

The flip is the more lyrically direct, ‘Two Guys,’ where Conscious Route teams up with a quick-spitting Pro Focus over a sparse and stuttering backdrop from Edinburgh-born, Brighton-based producer, Tzusan. The two MCs deliver their own challenges to other artists and the industry itself with an amusing mix of humour, social observation, and b-boy swagger.

Once again, Conscious Route shows how to flip across styles and topics, without losing your own style and voice… ‘Ducks in a Row’ produced by Mackenzie ‘Two Guys’ produced by Tzusan Guitar on ‘Ducks in a Row’ by Scott Bathgate Trombone and Piano on ‘Two Guys’ by Chris Greive Artwork by John Dyer @Digital Dyer Press Pictures by Ben Glasgow Editorial Tom Clover
