Premiere: Kojey Radical – The Garden Party

Produced by Jay Prince

The spoken word scene is a curious beast.

There's obviously a huge hip hop influence with most performers, but it stretches far beyond this – twisting, turning the way language is used, it can absorb influences from across the globe.

Kojey Radical refuses to limit himself. Lyrically, the performer veers from left wing philosophy to street level insight, delivered in that unmistakeable tone.

Debut EP 'Dear Daisy: Opium' will be released on June 5th, matching Kojey Radical's verses against challenging production.

By way of a preview, Clash can unveil new track 'The Garden Party'. The arrangement swings between genres, matching a nostalgic sample to Kojey Radical's words.

It's an oddly romantic track, one which places love as the true opiate of the people.
