A prelude to the full-length, 'A Lovely Pain' by METTLE
Available: 11.19.21 on Vinyl / Cassette / CD

OXIDATION | SSXR006

METTLE releases their first single ‘Oxidation' in grand fashion, with a highly stylized homage to the blacksploitation & 70s film era. Dripping with the truest interpretation of the old-school. With General Backpain and Krush Love at the wheel, this is rap at its core; Organic, original with 70s soul and funk to match. As the window to the Chicago x Inglewood connection is opened in all its glory, METTLE are bringing to the stage an infectious style that feels as natural as it is calculated. A throwback to songs with humor and an imaginative fluidity. General BackPain is beyond focused as Krush Love provides the soundtrack with an instantly addictive head nod style.

GENERAL BACKPAIN
Inglewood California native General BackPain has been a voice in the global indie rap scene for years. Every verse sets 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 music today. 'Oxidation' is his Sound.Science X Records debut.

KRUSH LOVE
Krush Love's style was born in the Chicago beat scene. Influenced by any genre available to his ears, KL's style has grown into a combination of the nostalgic and the expected future. Pulling inspiration from everything from rock to electro, 'METTLE' is the latest in a line of characteristic & distinct soundtracks for every release & artist he works with.
