Comparisons have been drawn with elusive auteur Dean Blunt and, funnily enough, the seeds of the project were planted when both Glacier and Vegyn made an auspicious appearance on last year’s Babyfather cut, “MANNA”, and joined Blunt on stage at his World Music takeover at Corsica Studios the same year. Much of the LP was borne of a partnership with producer Vegyn (although further contributions came from Psychedelic Ensemble, Tn_490 and Holly) and that gave the album the kind of marked throughline that makes a good album a great one. With her debut album, SHILOH: Lost For Words, she emerged fully formed as an artist set apart. Last year was a big one for Hackney’s John Glacier. If anyone’s worried about drill being watered down-and, let’s be honest, that’s a valid concern-you can at least rest assured that Horrid1 x Sav’O are keeping its raw essence alive. They’ve also got their double act down to an art and though both are more than capable of holding a track on their own, the real magic comes when they can bounce off each other. However, where that level of rawness can sometimes get in the way of execution, Horrid1 x Sav’O fired off with absolute precision. Cruddy street talk and barbed rhymes are par for the course in drill, but these two came straight from the gutter.
At the very end of last year, they were invited in for a Daily Duppy freestyle and, let’s just say, it didn’t pull any punches. But please don’t expect any pop crossovers from them just yet. Keen-eared drill fans will already be familiar with the brothers from West London they’ve been putting in the work for some time now, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that they’re meant for more than underground kudos. Next up out of the CGM camp-hot on the heels of frontman Digga D-are Horrid1 x Sav’O.
