Taking his first lyrical strides in 2003, Skryptcha’s gene pool is in his favour, coming from a long line of poets, writers and musicians. His instrumentally-charged upbringing laid the foundations … Continue reading Skryptcha What We Do It For feat. Daniel Mifsud

Skryptcha – Mindful (Out Now)

Jim Steps

Skryptcha has a knack for making the philosophical non-confrontational. His second masterpiece Mindful is not unlike it’s creator; preceptive, sharp and ahead of its time. After the notoriety surrounding previous LP Numb3rs, and break out EP Left to Write, the slick young wordsmith has found time to knock out a Journalism degree, and travel substantially. Crafted during the most pivotal years of his life, Mindful takes a considered look at Skryptcha’s unique journey thus far. Mindful’s production was expertly handled by illustrious US producer Illmind, a long-time favourite beat-maker of Skryptcha’s. Throughout the album, a dynamic emcee-producer synchronicity is evident, Illmind … Continue reading Skryptcha – Mindful (Out Now)

Skryptcha – Dance

Jim Steps

Skryptcha returns in 2012 with Dance, the first single from upcoming album Mindful. Since releasing his last LP Numbers, Skryptcha’s international profile has steadily grown to reflect his increasing popularity as one of Australia’s most promising young voices. Out of the USA, illustrious producer Illmind has provided the A-grade soundscape for Mindful’s entirety. Dance is a prime example of the dynamic emcee-producer synchronicity, and their ability to set the scene and tell a story seamlessly. Laid-back soulful guitar loops teamed with loose, punchy beats set the head nodding, while Skryptcha manoeuvres rhythmic rhymes skilfully around the beat. Written from a … Continue reading Skryptcha – Dance
