Sydney-based rapper The Tongue has just dropped brand new single "You Got Me" featuring Mataya, and it's clear that something's changed in the local water. Gone are the days where we sit around criticizing Australian hip-hop for its lack of originality, lack of interesting lyrical content, lack of interesting or experimental instrumental layers.
The track kicks off with fresh synths and a heady dance-floor beat. The verse kicks in, and The Tongue glides way under the radar with his swift and understated flow, quiet intensity brewing away.
Mataya's gorgeous vocals blend in so well, weaving perfectly with The Tongue’s rapid-fire flow. From start to finish, "You Got Me" is a silky smooth blend of hip-hop and electronic, a mix that we’re seeing more and more of both locally and internationally.
"You Got Me" is available now via Elefant Traks/Inertia.
