The Scribes x Risk 1
The Journey EP
A 4 track hip hop odyssey metaphorically exploring one man’s voyage of self rediscovery after the ending of a long term relationship. An intimate allegory told across 4 tracks, The Scribes’ frontman Ill Literate weighs in with emotionally heavy bars that recount the tale of a survivor of a tragic shipwreck.
Red raw raps poignantly paint pictures of stormy seas, scorching desert islands and verdant forests, each playing their part in a narrative that stretches across the entire release before culminating in a blissful and heart felt moment of catharsis.
