High Five - "The Hive"

Written by: Nick Schneider 

High Five of Gurnee, Illinois has just released a full length project, The Hive. 

From the opening instrumental “Ahad”, you are put into a sonic beehive of sorts, with various vocal samples, snares and whirling chords creating a mesmerizing effect. High Five then take their respective turns delivering verses on the following 18 tracks, with instrumentals from DJ Premier and Madlib alongside beats from producers Easter, Krazy L and more. The project evokes the posse cut feel of Wu-Tang Clan while maintaining a unique, fresh vibe. Highlights include “Wah”, “Bad Session” and “94”. Check out The Hive via High Five’s soundcloud.
