Hailing from White City, London, UK, British MC Lord Apex, also known as Shaeem Santino Wright, creates a unique blend of UK hip hop, alt-hip hop, and lo-fi hip hop.
His recent release, “Clutch,” from the recently released album Smoke Sessions 4, runs just one minute and 36 seconds. It opens like a voice memo, discussing “switching” in music, before diving into what feels like a freestyle rap.
The rewind-style beat adds a nostalgic touch, as if we’re revisiting the past sonically. His rap flow demonstrates control and confidence, drawing you in to catch every bar.
Though short, the track is enough to showcase Lord Apex’s artistry.
The refrain, “Cleanse your mind, don’t get too scattered,” lingers as the song closes with another voice memo-like snippet, bringing the track full circle.
It highlights Lord Apex’s willingness to experiment with beats and sounds, keeping his creativity fluid and engaging.
