Cobe Obeah - Dark Night
Artist: Cobe Obeah
Producer: Farbod
Album: Song of the Starz 2: Dark Night
Label: Unsigned
If Adele was the new Imogen Heap, could Florence Welch (of “and the Machine” fame) be the new Adele? After a listen to Cobe Obeah‘s latest single, I’m thinking she’s a prime candidate for hip-hop’s next across-the-pond musical crush. On his latest mixtape selection, the Los Angeles native (and freestyle series alumnus) enlists producer Farbod to flip the UK soul/pop-sensation’s sweeping hit single, Cosmic Love, into a bracing theme song for his hustle. Over a backdrop of martial drums, glittering harp arpeggios and fluttering strings, the emcee grits his teeth and marches into battle, dropping bars as witty as they are ambitious. And I have to hand it to the man; few can walk the tightrope between hilarity and political incorrectness as dope-ly as Obeah does here, razzing both “cracker whites” and “hermaphrodites” in one clever couplet. Has this lush, lyrically-driven grind anthem left you craving more? Song of the Starz 2: Dark Night has yet to receive a drop date, but fans can, as always, keep it locked to the Booth for the latest news and tunes.

Would I LOVE this without the dope sample work? Not sure, but with it we have a banger on our hands. Cobe's work is sometimes unfocused and up and down for me, but this is more than on point.

He so creative and different. One of the things I hate is when emcees don't bring enough energy or passion to their flow to match the beat or the subject. That is not the case with Obeah, you can hear the passion in his voice and fire in his belly.
