Grounded is an ode to Hip-Hop from Bristol, UK based producer Vice beats and Philidelphia based MC Steph Pockets. The song offers classic Boombap, soulful production, with Steph celebrating the elements, in a timeless, Preemo inspired sound.

Vice beats has been receiving a wide range of critical acclaim and support from tastemakers worldwide including Gilles Peterson, DJ Koco, DJ Premier and more, alongside Spotify editorial and radio support from the likes of NTS Radio, Spotify’s New Music Friday, being playlisted in Adidas stores worldwide and being featured on BBC Introducing 3 times over.

Having released Aspects Instrumentals earlier this year, Grounded sees Vice beats offering a slice of Boombap with a golden era aesthetic, led by a chopped up piano and strings.

Steph Pockets is a regular collaborator with New Zealand based producer Soulchef among others. Her distinctive sound and rhyming patterns create visual journeys through her lyrics, and have seen her work with artists across the world, including Kenichiro Nishihara and more.
