North Manchester-based experimental hip-hop duo Digging for Kanky comprising Ben and Smithy. The duo got their moniker from a mythical local grave robber named 'Old Kanky' in the 1800s, but luckily for us, these guys are not desecrating graves but are thrilling fans with an edgy and off-kilter take on rap.
Their latest release "Rain" is a brooding and hair-raising track comprising cinematic textures, and triumphant horns that evoke trepidation and fear like the coming of a sinister force from the shadows. The track is produced by Manchester's beat maestro Gnasha who laces the boys with the perfect canvas to showcase their unadulterated lyricism to the forefront.
The track is one of many coming from Digging for Kanky and Gnasha as they are currently working on their collaborative project set to be released via Black Pollen Records.
