Friday saw the release of
Lady Lykez's
Muhammad Ali EP featuring production from
Scratcha DVA and D'Lux. The four tracker, out now on
Hyperdub, is a punchy, powerful and often times groovy, club affair that thrives through the North London MC's fiery flow. While the raps of the title track and closing number "
Buzz Lightyear," and the production of "
Drmatic," take the lead, it is the cool combination of the two (rap and production) that make "
Lyke U" my favourite of the foursome. D'Lux delivers an easily enjoyable bed allowing for
Lady Lykez's flow to flourish. Cheeky wordplay and catchy lyrics make "
Lyke U" a nearly instant earworm and, in my ears, the kind of track that will get the most play in the summer airwaves. But hey, if
Sinjin Hawke calls
Muhammad Ali his favourite release of the year (see
here), then you best check out the full release for yourself. Do so via Spotify/Apple Music/Bandcamp/etc
