London lyricist Lynx Cane has returned once again with a fresh album called SNIS. Following up his spiritually-themed, soulful projects Garden of Gethsemane and The Spirit And It’s Fruits, SNIS finds him detailing his personal journey with vibrant lyricism laid atop potent, evocative instrumentation. SNIS’ introspective tone and meditative production gives it much character, paired with Cane’s distinctive baritone delivery and poetic lyricism.
“TESTIMONY” opens the project and does a lot with a short run time and minimalistic sound, as Cane gets deep on the microphone with a series of poignant, focused lines that capture SNIS’ themes of personal growth and redemption. “MANNA” brings in a more hypercharged, trap-laced sound that showcases Cane’s versatility, while “DEAD RIGHT”, featuring Retropxssy, continues this trend with production that flirts with rage and electropunk sounds and hard-hitting vocals. “Tabernacle” presents an evocative, reminiscent posse cut featuring Mary Sue, Jay Cinema, Kip C, Swordbearer and Kingayeo, that sees the emcees laying down heartfelt lines atop airy soul loops to a stirring effect.
