Hold That Down
East Coast Music Awards nominee Mitchell Bailey follows up the success of his chart topping release with a transatlantic linkup with Coventry MC Skatta. From the top Bailey shows us why he is a hometown hero for the natives of Nova Scotia, Canada, snapping hard on the Nookie Beats production with ease. His delivery is crisp yet full of tongue-twisting rhyming schemes, setting up a comfortable pitch for Skatta to hit it out the park.
“We thought the production had various similarities to UK grime, which we were listening to lots at the time, along with conveniently coming across Skatta’s music. I reached out, he enjoyed the record, sent me his verse back within the next few days and the rest was history”
‘Hold It Down’ captures the, some times, invisible and understated connection between these two countries in a powerful alliance that we hope to see more of.
