Irish maverick Kojaque once again transcends in his versatility, taking another sharp, avant-garde turn, drifting ever further into a lane of his own on new offering ‘Coming Up’. A visionary rapper who has consistently excelled in his performance and challenged his listeners during his burgeoning career, the Soft Boy Records co-founder has been one of the hottest names in experimental hip hop since his emergence. On ‘Coming Up’, the conceptually elite and visually striking artist combines uniquely dense sensory texture, vivid and cerebral wordplay and emotive, solemnly ferocious delivery. 

On the subdued and explorative instrumental, the synth sounds used are individualistic and otherworldly, and there is an undertone and theme of fantasy and science fiction throughout. The production is intense and acute; every inch of sonic scenery is explored and luxuriated. Kojaque’s delivery is idiosyncratic and imperative, with snappy, levitated flows cutting through the soundscape with acumen and immediacy. The songwriting is condensed and focused, thematically engaging and thought-provoking. 

Vastly singular in his approach, delivery and musical texture, Kojaque is progressing at a remarkable level. He has the image, work rate and talent to be one of the most influential rappers of his generation. Get noticing.
