Slick Don 'Highs & Lows' (BAD TASTE)
Birmingham MC Slick Don teams up with Walter Ego for the first time since 2016’s ‘Brap’ on new single ‘Highs & Lows’. This time, there’s less up-front club pressure and more reflective storytelling, although Ego’s beats are still laced with raw power. “What do you know about highs, what do you know about lows?”, asks Don on the infectious hook before reeling off verses about the struggle behind the grind, as Ego’s heavyset stabs, bruising squarewave patterns and twinkling melodies do the business underneath.
