London rapper Ultra_eko is set to release his new track ‘Phoenix Rising’ across all streaming platforms on April 23rd, as the lead single off his upcoming record ‘Revelation’. Produced and engineered by Subsequel, the entire album took eight weeks to complete, with recording sessions at Pirate Studios in Earlsfield and his home during lockdown. Ultra_eko has released an EP and three critically acclaimed albums, drawing the attention of Vents Mag, HipHopSince1987 and Urbanista. Additionally, his works were selected for Repost Exchange’s best tracks of the year podcasts for 2019 and 2020.

Aiming to release his finest body of work yet, Ultra_eko delivers ‘Phoenix Rising’ as the musical embodiment of his dominant dark themes and captivating narratives. The crisp production directs the full attention to his precise rapping and standout wordplays, with simplistic and menacing beats providing the appropriate vibe and perfect backdrop for Ultra_eko to fully unveil his standout prose and masterful flow. The ambitious artist says the following about ‘Phoenix Rising’:

“What I like about this track is that it is not defeatist; it is about fighting back against perceived injustices. It is about turning inward to find strength and a sense of worth. The idea of burning everything to the ground need not be taken literally, but is a metaphor for transformation of the self, and of new beginnings.”

While we wait for “Phoenix Rising” to appear on streaming services, Ultra_eko has dropped its very DOPE music video, directed by Alexander Stott and Eli Lev. Watch it right now, be on the full-length ‘Revelation’ due to come out later this year, and follow his social media for further updates on new music and events.
