Fans of Phil Mac will remember the clown making an appearance right at the end of his last music video. Perhaps you took it on face value, ascribed it to art, and thought no more about it. Well, you need to be more adventurous if you’re going to second guess this hip-hop artist from the UK. This new video is all about Halloween, the creepy clown, and down-right decent music. It’s only a few days until All Hallows’ Eve, when the veil between this world and the next becomes thin. As a manifestation of the fears, vices, and unconscious twists within the Bristol-based rap artist, Phil demonstrates how he finds freedom from his demons through art, mentality, and progress. Out on Stray Cat Records just in time for Halloween, here is the spooky Shftin’ from Phil Mac. 

The video starts with spooky synth sounds and an atmospheric build-up. A rhythmic melody then breaks out from the smoke. Drums rattle and shake with catchy lo-key beats. A thump of kick brings out the vocal, Phil Mac starts his poetry. The lines fit in slim rap bars that spit and rhythm in laid-back insistency. A subtle melody in Phil’s voice gives rise to dramatic rises in the flow as the music evolves behind the scenes and reaches new layers without us noticing. Listening to the story, the driving pulse of hip-hop sits tight and keeps the tempo tight as the various lines lean this way and that with their human flow.
