Rhyme Skeme
"Turbulence" is a track from Ollie Twist's latest project MDLXV (1565) about the hardships and warfare experienced on the various battlegrounds of what is now the nation's Oldest City. A full scale orchestrated assault, the cinematic beat pulses throughout the song, complemented by screaming electric guitars and vicious turntable scratching. The lyrics in many ways are the backbone of the album's theme, discussing the origins of settlement in the Southeast on a time line of monumental and historic occurrences that shaped its political atmosphere. Intense and exciting, Hip-Hop with substance is back! Incorporating heavy underground production with sharp and cleverly tailored lyrics, MDLXV constantly pushes forward taking the listener on a wild, historic journey from beginning to end.
