The first collaborative effort by two of Cincinnati’s alternative hip hop pioneers, Abiyah + Evolve, ‘Boom’ inspires overcoming obstacles through self-motivation and self-improvement…with a unique and melodic fury.

Offered on high-quality chrome cassingle (cassette single) in two versions, one produced by Oakland-based DJ HALO (with post-production rhythm cuts by DJ Rare Groove), the other produced by St. Petersburg, Russia-based Possible Address, with additional production by Evolve. While containing futuristic elements that are decidedly not reminiscent of the 90s-golden-era vibe, the ‘Boom’ cassingle does hearken to the days when the B-side housed instrumental versions for the people; featured on Side B are slightly-tweaked instrumental versions of the Side A full versions.

‘Boom’ crosses over into DIY, alternative hip hop and avant-garde/experimental audiences, while still maintaining a sensibility that transcends classification and can work just as well as a club banger as it would as a backdrop to a backyard house party.
