Raised in the streets of Brixton, in the south of London, Political Peak has made his name as a rapper who fuses the sharpness of his street knowledge with mainstream, digestible aesthetics. His latest release "MAKE IT" serves as a reminder of his roots and most importantly, the spirit of being consistent in one's endeavours. Backed by an ominous piano-laden soundscape, ripe with punchy drills and moody textures, Political Peak takes us deep into the wild streets in Brixton.
From his fallen comrades, and lost souls who are stuck on the roads to the ones who manage to pull through, the rapper gives audiences different sides to the story of urban decay, violence, and finding positivity in the darkness. Lines like "My young un on the street, he gonna make it slap/ calmer, you don't want the drama/Niggaz Talk beef till they chilling with a farmer/ two straps call me Hussein or Osama/Peace over lava, tell me would you rather" underscore the blurred lines between peace and war but Political Peakis is always for the former till further notice.
"MAKE IT" is the first of many singles from the UK rapper as he is ready to launch a series of powerful singles before the year ends.
Political Peak grew up in the vibrant yet challenging streets of Brixton and began writing his first song at just 10 years old. Soon enough music became his therapy and creative outlet amid a crime-heavy environment where he lost friends to incarceration and violence. With Caribbean cultural influences woven into his sound, Peak’s music captures the essence of turning pain into purpose as he is known for blending sharp lyricism with versatile beats.
