West London MC, Motive105, weaves his words into stories over a classically modern instrumental. This latest record 'Conditions' features additional vocal flavor from Courtney Bennett, but the highlight for us is the personal nature of Motive's verses and the tasteful sampling in the beat. Motive105 credits his influence to early 2000s hip-hop, and it shows in his effortless rhythm and rhyme structures. His lyrical content also presints important social issues in a personal light. This one vibes hard so go ahead and bump it.
