3-Part interview with Edinburgh's Nasty P.
Also featuring 2 new tracks from the Hip Hop artist.
Including the previously released “aphrodisiac” and “god help the girl”, “white dove” also features 2 brand new songs which, along with the intro and interlude, comprises a project that concisely explores the pain, isolation, confusion and healing involved with being a victim of narcissistic abuse.
Featuring soundbites from various forms of media and spoken word from Philomenah herself, there is a conceptual overtone to the EP inspired by independent cloud rap artists such as Bones. Sonically, the primary inspirations for the r&b-focused EP are Mariah the Scientist, Kehlani, Summer Walker, Tinashe and Drake; and the project is produced, mixed and mastered almost entirely by RJ Cherry.

These newly remixed and re-worked versions presented on Flip Tape draw from a variety of influences and styles from laid-back ambient production (Fields of Hope), haunting Lo-Fi (Awakening) through to high-octane drum and bass (Everything Test) adding fresh perspectives to already enjoyable tracks.
Flip Tape is a fantastic re-working of Conscious Route & True Notes critically acclaimed 'Lost Routes' album - adding further diversity to his sound and continuously expanding body of work which he looks to further add to throughout 2021 and beyond…
"25/26" is the new single from rising Scottish talents McRoy and Vagrant Real Estate. McRoy reflects on life in the harsh reality of poverty in Scotland, struggling to get by and stay on the right side of the law. Melancholy production from Vagrant Real Estate underscores McRoy's bars illustrating paranoia and desperation, effortlessly switching rhyme schemes and flows as he talks frankly about the catch 22s of drug addiction, crime and hustling to get by.
Vagrant Real Estate is an Aberdeen based producer, and has received notable coverage from the likes of Ministry of Sound, DJ Mag and i-D Magazine. He was also named as one of Vic Galloway’s (BBC Radio Scotland) Top 25 Artists To Watch in 2021, and comes off the back of producing for Edinburgh dark pop act Misty Galactic, highlighting his versatility and depth as a producer. His last full length instrumental album "SWEETHEARTGRIPS" saw wide ranging support from BBC Radio Jazz Nights, Wordplay, UKHH and front page coverage on Aberdeen's The Press And Journal newspaper.

The EP is produced by fellow Edinburgh-based beat-maker - Crink and cuts by iconic UK turntablist, DJ JabbaThaKut on the track ‘C4’.
Never one to conform to industry trends or expectations – Protest EP is another heavy addition to Conscious Route’s diverse and progressive back catalogue which he looks to continue to add to through 2021 and beyond…
