Midlands Rapper/Producer Lil Shadow releases not one but two brand new tracks in a week via his soundcloud. The first track is called “Keep My Cool” and produced by his very own alias Shadow Elijah. As the title may suggest, Lil Shadow keeps his cool on the track, with laid back delivery on the beat which consists of constant, meandering strings over the beat, with various other percussion, creating a hypnotic feel to it. As for the vocals by Lil Shadow himself, the first part of the track, a hook or chorus, features him delivering calm, laid back sing-song style bars, rhyming about some of the things that may get him vex if it weren’t for his cool attitude from ungratefulness, his solution being to ignore people’s negative vibes. Having no time for fools, or money chasers. The latter segment of the tune is when Shadow kicks in to a rap verse, hard-hitting and going in to more detail about how time is money to him, coming across as someone that just wants to focus on business, and enjoying life’s luxuries from weed, drinking and girls.

The latest instrumental, entitled “Rip Depzman”, is a tribute to fellow Birmingham artist Depz who passed away last year. Available for free download, this cool lounge production is a laid-back, chilled out instrumental, featuring a soft and mellow piano playing along with the funk style synths, and sampled vocal tags reminiscent of such funk pioneers as Roger Troutman, this makes for a nice G-Funk sound to sit back and zone out to. Further in to the beat, Shadow drops an infectious, hard-hitting drum pattern and beat, which makes the rhythm ever more livened up. A brilliant, slight summer vibe, and excellently produced by Shadow Elijah.
