THE BOX - SIXTHSENZE x MELANIN x BBK

‘The box’ is a song originally done by MI Abaga but here’s certainly an equally dope version remixed by the trio of Croc Cities finest! Talking about Sixthsenze, Melanin and BBK.

This very remix of 'the Box' takes an entirely new dimension; Six, Melanin and BBk took it further and you would testify after listening to them, they never fell short of the standard M.I had set. Their verses are narrative of their individual experiences in the music industry that tends to bend the will of most upcoming artistes.

Showcasing mastery of their craft, every line they spit is concise, saying they killed the track is simply an understatement. SixthSenze gave a lucid diagnose of what the Box is, from his intro to his opening verse; he vehemently stressed the not boding well ways of the industry, how many music Artistes jettison their love of the art and passion in pursuit of fortune and fame.

being lyrically blunt, SixthSenze reiterated the need for artistes to be creatively free from the influence of stifling record labels, music promoters and exploitative marketers.

Originality in expressing one’s creative proclivity should remain at the core of every artiste heart. His/her views need to be expressed without following the dictates of the mainstream music industry.

Sixthsenze murdered it while Melanin embalmed the cadaver with his deep word play as he highlights how the box has caged artistes. BBk on the last verse buried the track as he lyrically dissected the ills of fame in the box and what it takes to make it out of the box!

The trio of Croc City’s finest Emcee’s presented the subject matter as it matters in its purest form without watering it down.

To be more convinced please kindly download, listen and share the song.
