Spider Jaroo - Writing for Commission

This is the latest E.P. from Northern Structure Records, it is by a Blackpool artist who goes by the name Spider Jaroo aka veteran Don't Flop battle rapper Disciple. It is eight tracks long and clocks in at around twenty six minutes long, the E.P. also features fellow Northern Structure Records rapper Amos. The main vibe of the E.P. is one of politics, hip hop revival and Spider Jaroo's personal struggle within the hip hop scene.  tracks of note include the opening track Solar Flare, an old school Brooklyn style, No Doubt, which has a chilling instrumental and an almost a mild horrorcore feel to it, Who's that?, an evil hip hop track and the title track Writing for Commission, an insightful look into Jaroo's thought process. For me through, the personal highlight was the beast Machetes, a classic hip hop anthem which can be appreciated across the genre due to its anthem like feel and large hook. Overall this is a solid hip hop E.P. and well worth a listen, especially as its free to download.
