It has been long since we last heard an EP that blends a mixture of languages smoothly together yet still packed with quotable and related rhymes and metaphors. In comes the COMMUNION EP by Caution, Blaylock and Sayanide from HouseOvStone Productions.
It’s a 6-song EP, with a general theme of togetherness, camaraderie and emcees breaking bread and sharing ideas through hiphop, hence the title. The topics range from adoration of the African woman on party tracks like “Kyuka” to deception and manipulation on classic hiphop beats like the “Kiwani Remix”. The emcees also go ham and into beast mode on the base heavy “Bimenke” while showing lyrical prowess and flow versatility on the title track “Communion”. The EP dropped in March 2021 and is executive produced by Germany-based producer PapaStein with supplementary contribution by the award winning Nase Avatar of PortBell Music and the talented Super Producer of GoodKid Music. This EP has that certain “je ne sais quoi” we have not heard on the Ugandan hip-hop scene for some time. You will not want to skip a track on this true hip-hop EP.
