Cyrus Malachi The Blind Watchmaker

For a period of time, Hackney seemed to be the epicentre of British Hip hop. From the mid 2000s there was a raw, grimey sound, reminiscent of classic New York street rap, eminating from East London, epitomised by the emergence of Cyrus Malachi, Nasheron & M9 AKA Triple Darkness. This movement culminated in the Triple Darkness album, the Heresy Presents Anethema. Anathema is regarded as one of the few classic Hip Hop albums to have emerged from the British scene, and sounds as fresh today as it did when it was released over a decade ago. Since then, Cyrus has released music with the UK supergroup, Orphans of Cush and added a second Triple Darkness album to his arsenal with the refomed extended squad, as well as releasing a project with the Nottingham

legend Cappo. This is all added to his impressive solo back catalogue with notable releases such as Ancient Future and his Isis Papers series. Cyrus is undoubtedly one of the premier lyricists in Hip Hop today. With an exceptionally visual style of storytelling, Cyrus Malachi strikes an authoritative figure, dropping gems with his unmistakable style and flow. The Blind Watchmaker sees Cyrus team up with veteran UK producer Evil Ed and 12 Bit master DJ Drinks along with a host of features from Neter Rootz, Ric Branson, Teslas Ghost, Ray Vendetta & Lone Ninja. It drops 28/09/20 on Revorg Records. With collectors item CD & cassette, there is also vinyl on the way. If it ain’t Revorg, why bother?
