Lancey, Len and Fimiguerrero Join Forces For Standout LP Conglomerate.
15 Nov 2024
The UK underground scene stands as a vibrant and diverse community, driven by the unique talents of its artists. At its core lies a powerful sense of unity and collaboration, which is perfectly embodied by brand new release from Lancey, Len and Fimiguerro, ‘The Conglomerate‘.
The term conglomerate typically describes a multi-industry entity made up of distinct businesses operating in various sectors. In the context of the London underground creative scene, it serves as a fitting metaphor. This dynamic network of artists and innovators works together to amplify their strengths, creating a thriving cultural ecosystem beneath the mainstream radar.
The trio of Fimiguerrero, Len, and Lancey are making waves in their own right, each contributing unique elements to the UK underground scene:
Fimiguerrero continues to ride the success of his hyperjerk album New World Order, released earlier this year to critical acclaim. Its innovative sound has solidified his reputation as a pioneer in the genre.
Len, fresh off his groundbreaking neo-Congolese album Cobalt, brings his signature style to the table for this collaborative project. His unique fusion of sounds further elevates the collective effort.
Lancey, the most prominent of the three, has already established significant connections in the US music scene. His global reach positions him as the gateway for a new era of UK artists, following in the footsteps of UK rap legend Skepta, who previously opened doors for Lancey himself. Lancey is now continuing this legacy, paving the way for emerging talent to shine on the world stage.
Together, these artists are shaping a fresh chapter in UK music, blending innovation with tradition to create a global impact.
Conglomerate draws heavily from local scenes that have achieved global recognition, striving to reintroduce a proud sense of heritage into their essence. By blending iconic Afro-Caribbean influences with contemporary styles, the collective channels the vibrant energy of today’s youth. One standout example is “Osbatt,” a track inspired by the British-Zimbabwean designer Sliksyd’s fashion brand. This song merges the bionic rattle of rage with UK drill’s signature percussion and sub-bass, delivering an electrifying listening experience.
Other highlights include the scintillating melodies of tracks like “Spanish Guitar” and “Silhouette,” which showcase the joy and creativity that music can evoke. These songs pull listeners deeper into Conglomerate’s unique soundscape, where heritage and modernity collide in unforgettable ways.
The trio didn’t stop with their original release – they quickly followed up with a deluxe version of their LP, expanding the project to an impressive 16 tracks. This extended edition showcases even more of their artistic range and creativity, making it a must-listen for fans of the UK underground scene.
