A positive influence to the younger generation, Jamaica’s Grammy nominated trailblazer Blvk H3ro has joined forces with producer and multi-disciplinary creative Glassface [Lil Yachty, Kid Cudi, Ms. Lauryn Hill] for their highly anticipated EP, ‘ACTIVE’. Challenging the boundaries of the modern day soundscape with their one-of-a-kind approach, this body of work unites cultures from all over the world in four wheel-up worthy tracks.
Opening the EP with “ACTIVE”, a seamless mix of Dancehall and Electronic elements produced by Glassface and Grammy-nominated producer Noah Beresin [Skrillex, Ty$, Blood Orange, Big Sean], “ACTIVE” is a triumphant statement that enables Blvk H3ro to glaze his infectious vocals atop. Forming an infectious dancefloor filler, we swiftly transition into “UP”. Kicking the night into high gear, this energy-driven track houses a pulsing production from both Glassface and Mucky [Sevdaliza, Wiley, Will.I.Am]. Carrying a message of energy and elevation Blvk H3ro fuels the relentless spirit behind the track with his frenzied flow. Moving into “BRICK”, a fine blend of Afro-Dancehall elements with Brazilian percussion and an added mix of English and Yoruba vocals, this track is a melting pot of cultures. Housing production from Glassface and Mucky, the intention behind this creation was layers; building a sense of strength and determination for those on the grind. Incorporating samba-inspired rhythms and deep basslines to create a gritty yet uplifting vibe, the pair close out the EP with “MOTION”. Capturing a late night party in full swing, Blvk H3ro, Glassface and Mucky, lean further into Afrobeat and Electronic sounds, creating a deep cut that’s glossed with his signature vocals.
