about

METTLE | A LOVELY PAIN [INSTRUMENTALS][SSXR008]
When you consider the pedigrees of the artists behind METTLE, you get a true understanding as to why this album is so exceptional and complete. Comprising of General BackPain and producer Krush Love, the worlds of Chicago and Inglewood California collide in a ten-track collection that is as robust as it is fluid. A throwback to the glory days with a constant tone of the expected future.

‘A Lovely Pain’ is a carefully formed album featuring the meticulous laconic flow of General BackPain accompanied by his inspired combination of biting and humorous rhymes. Every track is constantly underpinned by a world of sumptuous yet minimal & well thought out production. METTLE brings the album through a gratifying circle of completion from start to finish in the fullest sense possible.

Featuring enigmatic guest appearances from New Jersey native Lupus Dei & Buffalo native, Chuck Chan both from The HomeTeam Records crew. From the eye-opening intro to its fulfilling final chapter, 'A Lovely Pain' only adds to the ever increasing depth of indie-rap culture.



GENERAL BACKPAIN
Inglewood California native General BackPain has been a voice in the global indie rap scene for years now. Every verse setting a new standard for the next. His unmistakable style provides listeners with a new escapade for every song. GBP is known for his accelerated, metaphoric yet comedic wordplay, matched against one of the most noticeable cadences in rap today. 'A Lovely Pain' is his Sound.Science X Records debut.


KRUSH LOVE
Krush Love's style was born & bred in Chicago's inclusive music atmosphere. Inspired by any genre available to his ears, Krush Love's style has grown into a combination of the nostalgic past & what's still to come. Pulling inspiration from anything from rock to electro, 'METTLE' is the latest in a catalog of characteristic & distinct soundtracks for every release & artist he works with. [J.McCauley]
