Having become one of the most instantly recognisable voices in UK Hip-Hop over the past few years, with a slew of heralded releases on Blah Records, Londonbased rapper CLBRKS (AKA Conrad Brooks) prepares to release his new LP ‘CLBELLIC’ via Bradley Zero’s heralded imprint Rhythm Section. This new offering sees Conrad linking up with Finnish producer NickyDiesel to deliver an eleven-track excursion, delving into a brooding sonic palette influenced by the gritty and foreboding essence of classic New Yorkian gangster video games such as Max Payne and Grand Theft Auto IV. Painting images of eerie nocturnal backdrops and various nefarious activities, the album perfectly matches Nicky’s grainy and neck-snap inducing production alongside Conrad’s off-kilter and often-hilarious lyrics
