Mr Ekow Releases Free EP 'Between Haircuts'
Croydon rapper, Mr Ekow releases his 4th EP 'Between Haircuts'. In a world obsessed with finding the perfect angle for a selfie, Between Haircuts pushes aside the facades and explores the nitty gritty in between. The EP paints an honest, personal picture of trying to maintain faith in a broken world and looking for light in the darkness.
No subject is left untouched as Mr Ekow tackles themes such as doubt, lust, escapism, corruption and more. Commenting on the vulnerability of the project the artist explains, "These are things most people deal with, but often the implications are downplayed in favour of forcing out a smile. I wanted to create an open conversation with how we can best overcome our issues, but without a holier-than-thou attitude. The best way to do that was to be honest and share my own experience. Truthfully a quick fix is difficult to find, but I hope the EP as a whole will show a journey of faith and help inspire others to continue theirs."
The 6-track EP boasts production and features from TheUnsung, Prospect, Ruth-Ellen, Myles The Rhetorical, Taiko, Titi The Writer and Ebonie G. Each collaborator was carefully chosen to help bring the project to life and join the vision for a world where people live authentically, whilst striving to be the best they can be.
Between Haircuts was released on Friday 12th May and is available for free on SoundCloud and BandCamp.
