Oblique Strategies: Numbers Up

Numbers Up is the latest jewel to be released from last year’s Oblique Strategies collaboration from Cappo and Mr Brown. Featuring some typically sublime lyricism from Cappo and some weighty boom bap production from Mr Brown, it’s a definite high point on an already strong album. Raw Pastiche is out now on We Stay True.

Oblique Strategies (Mr Brown & Cappo): Bar Cardio

New sounds from We Stay True, as Mr Brown joins forces with Cappo to form Oblique Strategies. They have a whole album en route, one that promises to further solidify Cappo’s reign as the UK’s supreme lyricist, with the first single given life last week. You can hear Bar Cardio above and pre-orders for the vinyl edition are available now. The release date is set for 23 November.
