Vancouver-based producer Cozway and South African native Jon Casey, have been on an absolute tear recently. From Cozway’s recent single ‘Java’ released through Good Enuff records, to Jon Casey’s massive EP Catharsis released through Quality Goods Records. The two have been supported by numerous big names in the trap game, and now it’s time to add one more to that list with their collaboration ‘Ambush’ released off RL Grime’s Sable Valley.
The intro to ‘Ambush’ introduces us to the wide array of percussion elements used to establish the tribal rhythm that carries the track through its various genre switch ups. As we approach forty five seconds we are “ambushed” by tribal drums which seem resolve the melody every couple seconds, only to start over with slight iterations of the original pattern giving us an authentic sound that could only be birthed by these two. Immediately after this section, we are given a quick build up leading to an insane trap switch up filled with spazzy 808’s and violent claps. Lastly, the pair give us a quick switch up, all while introducing vocal samples that give the track another layer. This is a masterful take on multiple genres, by two of the most innovative producers on the rise right now. Listen to the future below.
