Conscious Route - ‘Underground’ ft Becci Wallace b/w ‘Original’ ft Solareye

Edinburgh-based rapper, Conscious Route returns with a new two-track release due out in April 26th 2024. It kicks off with ‘Underground’ featuring Becci Wallace, an atmospheric, mid-tempo breakbeat backed track that deals with mental health in the face of toxic friendships. The pair split vocal duties with Becci’s sing-song style complementing Conscious Route’s spitting. This is not the first time they have connected on a track, as Conscious Route was inspired to work with Becci after hearing her ‘Present Tense’ album and going on to record the single ‘Orphans’ together in 2022.

The lilting tones and personal struggles of ‘Underground’ give way to a harder edged feel on ‘Original,’ as Solareye kicks off a politicised look at the struggles of life in Scotland and Conscious Route delves into how culture is used to create narratives to influence society before the duo mock the lack of originality in the scene.

These two tracks offer a snapshot of Conscious Route’s ability to flip his style track-to-track, showing his skills while avoiding tired cliches.
