Acorn Morocco – “Tight Tech (SOS)”
The latest track from hip hop veteran Acorn Morocco is a great combination of traditional boom bap integrated with driving dance elements. When you factor in Acorn’s thoughtful analysis of where culture meets conflict, you find yourself with a track that’s a good listen at all layers.
Spacey sounds and Mark Ronson-esque funky brass paces “Tight Tech,” elevating the new single single to one that would be quality even without Acorn’s incisive lyrics. Always one to lend his voice, Acorn is as sharp as ever with the commentary with the verses here. His subject line ranges from traditional sports show fodder (black quarterbacks/white cornerbacks), to more elaborate theories on conflicts throughout the world. All the while, a female voice sample repeats the song’s namesake, providfng an uncanny, robotic reflection to the very human issues Acorn presents in his lyrics.
The hip hop veteran has a hefty output of songs in his catalog, ranging from conscious hip hop to more experimental tracks, highlighted by last year’s “Sunset” single. Check out more from Acorn on Spotify, where you can listen to a long catalog of music.
