First Word Records proudly presents 'Right Now', the new single from Essa & Pitch 92.

Right now, in this very moment, how do you feel? And, more importantly, why?

"It's deep right now. A steep climb, it's peak right now."

'Right Now' is the second single from the much anticipated collaborative album 'Resonance' by lyricist Essa and producer Pitch 92. The pair demonstrated mastery of their respective crafts, with the sharp wordplay and pounding beats of previous single 'HeavyweightS', (which features an all-star cast including Klashnekoff, Kyza Doc Brown, Tony D and more). Now, they display their level of musical chemistry, and introduce the deeper side of the album.

Essa describes us as complex beings. Even in mundane moments, we simultaneously experience multiple feelings. They are rooted in our genetic and environmental heritage. They are coloured by the consequences of past choices, and by our hopes and fears for the future. Yet all we have is the present moment.

"Wrapped up in yesterday, missed the presence of gifts. The past is lost, the future's grey. So the question to ask is – what can I do today (right now)?"

Pitch 92's peerless production provides the perfect backdrop for these stream-of-consciousness reflections. Warm bass and soulful chords flow over crunchy drums, with touches of additional orchestration by Colin "C-Swing" Emmanuel and Viva Cee. The sound evokes the legendary MC/producer pairings that inspired them – Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Guru & Premier, Questlove & Black Thought, Common & Dilla.

Vulnerable, soulful, insightful and relatable – this is sophisticated hip hop that truly resonates.

"No need to read my file. It's all open, I'mma speak RIGHT NOW"

For fans of … Loyle Carner, Oddisee, Children of Zeus, Kofi Stone.

'Right Now' is released digitally worldwide via First Word Records on May 31st 2024, with the album 'Resonance' due for release later in the Summer.
