The rapper from Scotland known as the
Vandal has released his latest hip-hop LP record, “Pyro.” The
album has been globally published on the Mosa Records independent
music label based in Spain, without the influence of the corporate
music industry. Full of infectious melodies, booming bass, rat-a-tat
back beats and a novel's worth of rhymes and lines, “Pyro” is the
Vandal's most expertly spat rap album to date and one of the best
hip-hop LPs for 2016 so far.
“Pyro” is the most prominent
official release from the Vandal since 2014's “I Make It Hot.”
That single, which created the artist's fan base in many parts of the
world, brought hard rock guitar riffs behind his inimitable skills as
an emcee. It is included as Track 9 of “Pyro” and is one of the
record's most powerful songs.
The Vandal's “Pyro” is far from a
rap-rock record, however. Firmly founded on bass, drums and lyric
aggression, melody lines on “Pyro” are largely keyboard and synth
based, excellently composed for an unstoppable hook in nearly every
track. Still, it's the writing and delivery of the Vandal's lines
which will keep hip-hop fans coming back for more. Extremely personal
and utterly without “gangsta” machismo, “Pyro” is a rap
record for people uninterested in shallow boasting and bling.
“I’m just telling my story,”
writes the Vandal, “or as I see it, my version of my life, not what
others think they know. No bullets, no bullsh*t.”
The Vandal has been performing at
locales across the United Kingdom and France, supporting acts such as
Stanley Odd, the Highland Jungalists and T-Rextacy. He has lately
been appearing at music festivals all over Scotland, turning heads of
music fans and music critics alike.
His music has been described as, “The
sound of a raw American ghetto rapper, with the lyrics of an award
winning storyteller.”
The Vandal's current official bio at
the official Mosa Records website says:
“The Vandal is a one-man show that
spits his life, his feelings, his fears and his
heart out in his songs. An honest rapper with nothing to lose
and everything to gain, he's only in it for the music, and is a long
way away from fast cars, money and bitches. His music is real and has
been sculpted to showcase something that is unique to Scotland.”
“Pyro” by the Vandal is available
online worldwide from Mosa Records now. Get in early, rap fans.
