Hip-Hop | 2nd Generation Wu Are Back with ‘Heaven on Earth’
Posted by VMan on September 10, 2020
2nd Generation Wu is back with their new single “Heaven on Earth (Light One)”. If you’re looking for great new hip-hop music, check this out.
2nd Generation WU is a music group formed by children of the Wu-Tang Clan. Led by the core of iNTeLL (son of U-God) and PXWER (son of Method Man), 2nd Generation WU has split off the Wu-Tang family tree and created a new branch. They pick up their own torch, lit from their parents, and blaze a trail all their own. They are not just children of the legendary hip-hop group. They have their unique sound.
After the success of their debut single “7.O.D”, iNTeLL & PXWER got back in session with the producer J.Glaze to craft another one. Trying to explore the greatest potential of their music, they set out to make a blend of music that would tap into a new vein yet to be fully fleshed out. And here comes “Heaven On Earth”, a dark jazzy boom trap uptempo vibe with a transitional chorus’ reminiscent of something heard from OutKast. As written in the hook, “Get up on that thing, in and out, are you breathin? Love fire stronger than a rock, baby dreamin. Twist a little, spend a little time with the right one. Heaven on Earth till we die, let’s light one.”
The producer J.Glaze, also wearing many hats as composer, recording engineer, and studio musician, takes the song up a level with his elegant trumpet solo as a beautiful third verse. The solo gives a breath to highly lyrical experience and allows the listeners to reflect on the lyrics they just received, leaving the song a quiet but endless aftertaste. With Artwork by Culture Freedom bringing everything together, this song won’t disappoint those looking for great new music.
