Blay Vision 'These Guys' (Lit City Trax)
Blay Vision follows his 2016 debut LP ‘The Vision’ with a new track for Lit City Trax. Blay self-produces the majority of his material and ‘These Guys’, written as a thinly-veiled ‘fuck you’ to the politics of grime’s wider industry, proves how powerful clever beats and thoughtful lyrics can be. Built around squarewave melodies and nifty pads, the beat gives Blay room to talk about his experiences. “I spent years unhappy tryna make people happy and that can’t run,” he quips, before flowing into the infectious hook.
