The Song:
After giving us their serious side in "Snap To The Future," Big
Urban unveils the comedy in "Love is a Battle," the
second release off of their forthcoming EP, It's Not So Much the
Heat, It's the Humidity. In freestyle
fashion, Krayola rhymes about how his heartbreak has left him
with a gruff appearance and eating food that even a starving college student
wouldn't touch while guest emcee StarPower's self-control wavers
as he's tempted after exchanging vows. With production by Scott Thorough, "Love
is a Battle" is a club joint,
complete with a pounding bass beat, a distorted vocal chorus, and an ending that
has a dash of electronica.
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.
