ESSA & PITCH 92 - Resonance LP

London veteran Essa joins forces with Manchester’s Pitch 92 for a masterclass in authentic, soul-drenched UK hip-hop. The production is heavy on low-slung grooves and late-night textures, expertly weaving gorgeous samples through crisp, head-nodding percussion. Essa’s politically charged lyricism carries the seasoned weight of a golden-era icon, delivering a flow that remains sharp and uncompromising. Pressed on high-quality vinyl via First Word Records, this LP captures the gritty warmth of analogue-inspired boom-bap. It is a contemporary classic that bridges the gap between millennial nostalgia and modern-day technical excellence.
