Artist 2017: AJ Tracey Is Looking To Leap From UK Hip Hop To US
Apple, Noisey, The Fader, and now Diandra Reviews It All are declaring 2017 to be a good, new year for AJ Tracey’s career. His Little Tracey EP dominates with rap riffs that feel like lyrical gifts being handed to your mind. He can go from lighting up a party, “Pasta”, to tearing it down, “Luke Cage”, with a fear-inducing flow that could compete with a tornado in quickness. One of the most exciting things about Hip Hop talent is their ability to show the rapidity of human thought. Tracey’s words fall upon ominous, bouncing basslines like a waterfall’s endless crash, which can reflect the mind’s laser-like thought process. Tracey is here to pummel you sonics with words that can go from playful “Buster Cannon” to a problem for fellow rappers, “Hating On Gang (feat. Rey Banks)”. Tracey wants to challenge listeners to love him, but has not problem challenging fellow rappers to hate him, and they have reason to be jealous: Tracey has sincere charisma.
