about

"Here and Now" was originally released as a single on Beat Rebel Records in December 2023.

"..how many songs start with philosophical ideas? Too few & certainly not too many rap ones. Justin tells me that it is "..about the way we are all rushing around so much that we forget to just pause look at the beauty around us and take in the moment . We forget to live in the here and now."

Local rap-master Brudez is no stranger to this magazine... but his long term collaborator Justin Bygrave, despite being one of my all-time favourite local bass players and the founder of Beat Rebel Records, has been hidden in the shadows (relatively speaking) for some years now: perhaps mainly spotted by those switched on enough to check out producer credits (thank you).

I've often...praised Brudez for completely avoiding rap delivery cliches ... and once again the vocals suit the song rather than being forced into it in order to ascribe to some unyielding convention.

He is always a contemplative rapper (no bragging amongst his work),....., so the lyrics fit his style better than anyone else you can imagine.

I think this is a gem of a track.." ("Hot Music Live")
