For UK rhyme writer, K.I.N.E.T.I.K., the more things change, the more they stay the same. For years, much of his earlier material has been sought after, discussed and traded among his niche fan-base like old Top Trump cards. Thankfully, his music is timeless and these ‘lost tapes’ are finally coming to streaming services.
The first release from the archive is the remix of the title track from his sophomore album, The Kinesis Thesis. K.I.N.E.T.I.K. enlists the help of his fellow countryman and producer, Slap Up Mill, who provides a paranoid and frenetic jolt of adrenaline to compliment K.I.N.E.T.I.K.’s revelatory tales of affirmation and ascent. Heavy stuff indeed. This journal style of writing was and continues to be the norm for the London rap representer.

The Kinesis Thesis (Gun In The Mouth Remix) is out today on Ten Pounds Of Gold.
