South London-based Grime collective known as The Trillest is a trio made up of DieVerse, DS and JQ. The three-man posse is poised to take the Grime genre to another plateau with their unique style of lyricism that takes inspiration from a wide variety of sources such as Grime legends, Tempa T, Wiley and also Vybz Kartel, 50 Cent, The Lox just to name a few. Their debut release “Hype Mic Man” has the quintessential Grime factor with a unique modern twist that blends edgy and engaging lyricism with energetic flows that give life to the title. Backed by the urgent and cinematic backdrop provided by producer Speakworld, the emcees take turns presenting their statement to the world at large with much gusto. Lines like “Certain man grown but they won’t grow up/Talking ’bout mash thinking that they are gonna blow up/Make me sick I don’t wanna throw up” is a display of irreverent spirit and it’s topped by the call and response chorus that will surely get the crowd jumping at live shows.
In the end, The Trillest reminds us that “Hype Mic Man” is an ode to the sounds that shaped him and it represents the group’s deep roots in the grime scene and their commitment to keeping the genre’s spirit alive
