"The boys are back and better than ever."
– The Leisure Gang EP
Celebrating the release of their latest E.P. ‘The Leisure Gang’ we are bringing you a review of the video of their title track. As always they have served to rekindle my interest in Hip Hop which has been waning recently from a somewhat over saturation in reviews in this genre. However as always their is something about Sweatshop Union that makes me stop and listen.
Even if I didn’t know ahead of time who had written this track I would know it was them. They have a distinctive style that makes them instantly recognizable and is of such great quality that it makes converts of those dubious about Hip Hop (I should know). This latest track shows us that they can only rise higher.
As for the video itself, there’s really no other way to put it. I loved it. The best way I can think of to describe it is that it is like watching Egypt through a kaleidoscope. It has a marvelously surreal feel to it which sparked my interest at the first distortion. These interesting effects alongside a fantastic performance form the artists themselves made for a great video.
So for those of you who haven’t checked them out, firstly, for shame. What’s taken you so long? Secondly go ahead and check out their video. In the description there is a link to the free download for their E.P. Or if you’re too lazy just click here. Seriously it’s free so there is absolutely no reason not to. That’s all for this week. We hope to see you again soon.
