The Manorail -- a NYC emcee trio with a love for music and a boom bap-influenced style inspired by New York in the 90's -- have released their new single, "Habitat," which features bars by hip hop icons Punchline and Brand Nubian's Sadat X.
The Manorail is comprised of three emcees from New York City -- Shish, Atrane, and Sed -- who manage to perfectly epitomize the boom bap subgenre of hip hop with their new single, "Habitat." Best known for scoring the long running hip hop theater production "Platanos and Collard Greens," The Manorail have now teamed up the Loyalty Digital Corp label to release their extensive back catalog of material (as well as some brand new, original tracks, such as "Habitat,) to a wider audience.
It's no accident that the track features Sadat X, as the song's smooth, jazzy style makes it feel like a direct successor to the Brand Nubian artist's first solo release, 1996's Wild Cowboys. The track also features a verse from fellow 90's hip hop veteran Punchline.
