Track of the Week: Don't Lose Yourself

On the bouncy new cut Don’t Lose Yourself, grime royalty Capo Lee continues his exploration into alternative sounds, evolving in his artistry with stalwart beat maker El Londo his sonic guide.

Capo has been a name in and around the upper echelon of UK grime music since the mid 10s, collaborating with the scene’s biggest names and helping to drive forward its continued popularity. The turn of the decade had seen Capo slow down on the releasing front to an extent, until a link up with one of alt rap’s hottest producers saw him find a new leash of life on the mic. Summer offering Dru Hill Or Jodeci highlighted Capo’s versatility and gusto, emerging from the shackles of grime and into the open playing fields of El Londo’s production. 

This fresh single augments Capo’s diverse ability and the pair’s seamless connection. Don’t Lose Yourself is brimming with energy, haze and vibrance; Londo’s sonic wizardry is at full tilt, knitting together a vivacious instrumental palette that Capo paints on in short, sharp bursts. Capo’s effortless charisma shines through lyrically and in his delivery, as we await further bangers from one of the most exciting rising duos in the alt rap landscape.
