Krash x Elements – Astronauts and Crosses

By May 8, 2016 Blog

Krash Williams and Elements began working together as part of a team that toured prisons across the UK doing urban music workshops. Their musical ties soon developed beyond this sparking collaboration which led to energetic adrenaline pumping PA’s in local underground spots from London to Manchester.

The Astronauts and Crosses EP is space-aged wave rap that combines futuristic, spaced out beats with
painfully honest lyrics. The tracks have been carefully crafted from the ground up in order to maintain creative
sanity in the face of the daily grind. The deep, trapped out production goes hand in hand with truthful lyrics
that reflect the ups and downs of everyday life, touching on struggles, ambitions and fatherhood. Sonically, the
record combines hard-hitting drums and wavy, tripped out synths with a touch of the more nostalgic boom bap
sounds of the golden age. All this blends together to take you on a trip to outer space, through the
constellations of your soul.
Krash Williams is a rapper and creative hailing from North West London who has consistently shown his versatility, lyrical ability and out-of-the-box style having written, directed and performed the Rap Opera #BareShook based on teen
pregnancy. This led to him becoming a resident presenter and the official voice of Westside Radio 89.6FM.
Elements a rapper, producer and DJ hailing from the North West of England is a true triple threat.
His thought provoking lyrics have depth with flows to match, and his production style is vast with beats ranging from the nostalgia of the golden era to wavey synth based cuts that sound bang up to date. On a production tip Elements was also the winner of the soleheaven.com Remix Battle competition which saw him beat 70+ producers to win a years supply of fresh kicks.

Musically very adventurous, embracing the facets of Hip Hop with a unique British slant and embodying the facet of lyricism in this body of work. Current favourites on rotation are ‘Reboot’ and ‘Astronauts & Crosses’. The whole project released independently on April 29th 2016 is very good and deserves much exposure.

Listen to Krash X Elements – ‘Astronauts & Crosses’.
