Hold Up
Producer Tolushorts brings together a unique blend of talents to form a collective of family and friends to give us an outstanding collaboration that depicts the subtle nitty gritty of London.
Tolushorts feat. Deuce Lumière, Chef Grizzy, V1NE and Eerf Evil ‘Hold up’ is a elegant, introspective piece of art that holds your attention from the word go, set in the dark street hours of the night with Dalston posing as an authentic backdrop, you instantly know what you’re about to hear real, raw underground sound.
The jumpy melodic trap drill beat produced by Tolushorts begins softly while the collective make their way to the stage of the streets. The beat drop instantly spins your head as Deuce flows in with the jumpy hook, the style really is “unique unah”
The dawg bark transition that leads in to the first verse is subtle put so powerful, it prepares the stage for Grizzy and let’s just say he holds that name well, his calming grizzly G.O.A.T like voice creates a spooky atmosphere that flows into V1NE verse nicely. He comes in with a hot steppa mellow underground sound with bars to match... then hold up, wait, back to the catchy hook, which transitions into Deuce Lumière’s verse where he lets us know his got even more word play and style up his sleeve
The beat then stops and visuals shift to a low angle shot of the mandem posted hyping up before Eerf Evil steps into the frame with some jumpy bars and a cool, calm energy to match.
For a first single, Tolushorts has pulled it out the bag. The talent within each individual artist and their collective delivery makes ‘Hold Up’ an underground anthem that needs to stay on repeat.
