The ‘Peace’ single finds several emcees from the U.K. and U.S. hip-hop scenes describing what peace means to them from their point of view.

The likable tune unites a global message of peace, love, and unity. Whether it’s politics or protests on home soil or gang warfare or injustices across the pond.

‘Peace’ contains a universal narrative and introspective rap vocals. Also, it possesses horn-driven instrumentation scented with a soulful hip-hop fragrance.

Blacksmith has performed throughout the UK & Europe supporting artists including Jurassic 5, Dilated Peoples, Evidence, Common, Mos Def, Brother Ali, Plan B, and various others.

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated 2 To The 6 - Single by Unchained in Music

Jun 21, 2019

Unchained XL is a UK-born “Afro-roots hip-hop” artist and producer with Nigerian roots. Not too long ago, he released a music video for his “2 to the 6” single.

“Already got labels tryna doctor me. If you can’t beat ‘em then join ‘em that’s their philosophy. You can try to change the tides, however obviously. It never works out how you want it like democracy.” – lyrics

‘2 to the 6’ finds Unchained XL dropping a thoughtful 64-bar verse in the main room of Black Orange Studios.

The likable tune’s cryptic title refers to the mathematical expression 2^6 (2 raised to the 6th power), which equals 64, representing the number of bars.

‘2 to the 6’ contains a relatable narrative, supreme rap vocals, and lush instrumentation scented with an Afrocentric hip-hop fragrance.

Also, the song covers a range of hard-hitting topics such as issues of racism, corruption, and economic injustice.

Unchained XL sneaks in a few references to various icons such as Nigerian filmmaker, Genevieve Nnaji (Lionheart); British Nigerian artist, “Burna Boy”; “Split” main character Kevin Crumb; and famous inventor, Thomas Edison.

The progressive emcee writes songs of protest, social commentary, and everyday experiences through the lens of a ‘third culture’ African migrant.

He draws inspiration from Afrobeat legend and political icon Fela Kuti, as well as artists like M.anifest, Antibalas, and A Tribe Called Quest.

2018 saw him touring the UK with shows in London, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds, and Cardiff. Also, he performed alongside artists such as Mungos HiFi, Afro Cluster, and Eva Lazarus.
