The Song:
In anticipation of their forthcoming debut EP, Brooklyn's Big Urban brings
us "Snap To The Future," a
song with a straightforward sound but an intriguingly deep message. Scott
Thorough’s electro-infused beat provides Kray with
the perfect platform to pontificate on NYC's velvet rope culture. The song is
told from the point of view of a guy who grew up on the outside looking in at
the rich girls behind the velvet ropes and their supposed lives of glitz and
glamour. Kray is at once fascinated and disgusted, explaining, "...rich
girls have an air about them; they're spoiled and ignorant sometimes, but their
stubbornness just makes them sexier to me. I'm screwed."
The
Background:
Big Urban is the collaboration of emcee Krayola
Spectrum on
the mic and producer
Scott Thorough on everything else. Both native to Brooklyn,
Kray and Scott are members of the Nuclear Family, a Brooklyn
hip-hop collective also including
Baje One, DJ Snafu, Tone Tank, Probe Cellsplitter and N.E.M.C. Kray and Tone
Tank make up the group Iller Than Theirs, who released
their self-titled debut album on Embedded Records in 2007 and a follow-up, Wash,
Rinse EP, in 2008. Scott is also a member of The
Boys & Girls Club and also
does production for Baje and Snafu's group Junk Science.
Big Urban describes their music as "a failed attempt to make popular
commercial rap music that failed horribly but came out sounding weird and
interesting anyway." Their
debut EP It's Not So Much The Heat, It's The Humidity will
be released via
Embedded Records this spring.
