On March 2nd 2018, the real mayor of Brixton, AKA acclaimed and respected rapper/producer Ty returns with 5th long-player A Work Of Heart. Produced predominantly and written by Ty, this hip-hop classic is a proper artist album that elevates the genre in an ambitiously artistic manner, akin to Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West. The crisp and bouncy audiophile production is suffused with evocative, flavor-filled samples, live instrumentation and a heady, groovy atmosphere, whilst clever but accessible, vivid and entertaining lyrics are delivered with a grown-man hip hop finesse and honest, bullshit-free directness. With wit, subtlety, and humor Ty tackles subject matter ranging from Brixton, depression, poverty, racism, family, hip-hop and the creative process, to philosophical musings on life and even imagined film soundtracks.
Today our hip-hop hero shares the track “Eyes Open ft Rootz & Debora Jordan,” a bouncy, quick-tongued track which is a refreshing reprieve from the current stock of music released.
Ty isn’t a new flash in the pan. He’s been performing and recording since before his debut 2001 full-length release Awkward (Big Dada), a light affair filled with hypnotic tracks.
