TRACK REVIEW: MC Halo feat. 90BRO – 4AM

4AM is a hauntingly raw and electrifyingly melancholic track by Sunderland artist MC Halo featuring 90BRO. The track conflates rap with hypnotic, electronic bass to negotiate the politics of loss and addiction. 4AM reminds us that pleasure and pain, whilst seemingly separate entities, are often entwined. The despairing track is marked with a feeling of anger that love is not the most powerful substance, and ultimately culminates in a complex resignation of human doom. The song possesses powerful qualities of storytelling, lamenting on a girl’s descent into addiction. “I fell in love with the idea of you… never worship false idols, but she was the truth.” With a release date of April 12th, 4AM blends grit with dynamism to weave a tale of personal grief.
