Mr. Benjamins Avatar

 The Alternative Hip-Hop duo FAR FROM GODS, featuring SKINNY THE APOCALYPSE and JESUS SPICE, is ready to shake up the music scene with their latest track, Shapes. Scheduled for release in August 2024 as part of their forthcoming EP Augmented, the song reflects their unique sound, blending the grit of 90s Boom Bap Hip-Hop with the melancholic essence of Bristol’s classic sound, reminiscent of Massive Attack and Tricky.


A Special Craftsmanship

Mr. Benjamins, a reviewer from ThisIsHipHopHQ, recently had the pleasure of listening to Shapes and commended the duo for “crafting something special.” The track stands out with its perfect blend of laid-back vibes and hypnotizing energy, pulling listeners in while keeping them engaged. โ€œItโ€™s the kind of song that you can chill to, but it still has that irresistible pull that makes you want to nod your head,โ€ he noted.


Vocal Delivery That Resonates

Mr. Benjamins highlighted the passion and emotion in their voices, emphasizing that every word feels authentic and rooted in personal experience. This emotional depth adds layers to the track, transforming it from just another song into a compelling musical journey.


Lyrical Complexity and Impact

Yet, it is the lyrical content that truly captivates. The reviewer applauded the โ€œtop-notchโ€ wordplay, punchlines, similes, and metaphors that flow throughout the track. He drew a parallel to the work of Kendrick Lamar, underscoring the complexity and thoughtfulness in their lyrics. With each carefully crafted bar, Shapes not only entertains but also provokes thought and reflection, leaving a lasting impact.


A Perfect Score

Without hesitation, Mr. Benjamins awarded Shapes a perfect score of 10/10, asserting that this track is more than just music; itโ€™s a statement. The combination of rich lyrical content and atmospheric production cements FAR FROM GODS as a rising force in the Alternative Hip-Hop scene.
