Ghostpoet - Cash And Carry Me Home

This gets props for song title of the week. And bassline of the week. And topic of the week.

Ghostpoet's flow is weirdly phrased - sort of staccato and Baz Luhrman-esque? But it's got a method to it: I think he's using his voice to put a syncopated rhythm on the 4-4 bassline. This is gorgeously gritty: it's got that contrast between a squeaky-clean bassline and a scratchy voice.

And that bassline is something else: even Kano jumped on it, but much as I love him and his flexible voice, I don't rate his verse (he's so much better on this)
