SKR - the EP by Di-Vincent (produced by ElMari.)
“A new realm of sound paying homage to Grime, UK Rap, UKG, and electronic music.”
Wonderland — Di-Vincent – “SKR (Sun Kiss Rain)” — “Sharp and dextrous from the offset, Di-Vincent’s 8-track mixtape “SKR (Sun Kiss Rain)” seamlessly embodies the dissolution of youth culture. With sounds reminiscent of darkened raves and warehouse settings, the high-calibre, UKG instrumentals open pockets for the Chinese-Nigerian heritage artist to display a rare, lyrical focus that instantly underlines him as a standout. Steadily manoeuvring through the hazy, grime-infused sessions of “On The Verge”, we reach an apex of Di-Vincent’s authentic musicality across the lead track “My Way” ft. Netherlands vocalist Miči – closing out the mixtape in a space where Di-Vincent is most comfortable and potent.”
Wonderland — Di-Vincent – “Jealous” — “Chinese-Nigerian heritage artist Di-Vincent is effortlessly bridging the gap between inner-city rap and the ecstatic resurgence of UK garage. Across his latest cut “Jealous”, we see the East London riser expertly utilise an eerie falsetto while floating across rough-edged Rhodes and choppy percussion. He pleads an intense lust for an exciting love interest before sharply reverting to a cadence where he’s most comfortable and potent – a complex juxtaposition for young people finding solace across their creative and ethereal journeys. With his incendiary mixtape SKR (Sun Kiss Rain) confirmed to release this year, Di-Vincent continues to embody the pace and disorientation of youth culture, quickly marking the rising talent as one of the most exciting artists across the UK landscape.”
Wonderland — Di-Vincent – “Near Miss” — “Sleek and high-calibre from the offset, East London newcomer Di-Vincent’s raw sound waves shine front and centre across “Near Miss”; laced with punchy percussion that fuses alongside heavy piano stabs, the neo-garage backing creates a perfect foundation for the Chinese-Nigerian talent to flaunt his infectious rap prowess flourishing with authenticity. His words reach out to young creatives finding calm amidst the chaos of youth while expressing a creative reflex on their own terms. A truly inspired lightning rod charting the dissolution of youth culture with sounds reminiscent of darkened raves and warehouse settings, the rising producer and vocalist will continue to define himself as one of the most exciting prospects across the underground.”
