So what do we have here then…a unique, Lo-Fo, Alternative Urban-influenced piece of music by a ridiculously talented multi-instrumentalist called Matt Berry who goes by the name of Marble Empire, who on this occasion has brought a smile to ROUGH ONLINE's faces via Empire’s meditative keyboard production and the Rap vocals of KarimThaPeasant, who delivers a tone very reminiscent of Tottenham-born MC Meridian Dan. Along with the catchy chorus’s soft, Lily Allen-esque singing performed by Purpl, Marble Empire’s new single “Mountain” easily joins the new wave of Alt-Electro, DIY musicians such as Loveday, with its’ trippy, underground, British Hip-Hop sound, concluding that the London-based music producer only wants to do one thing here…to keep things 100% real.

And of course, Empire’s new track is accompanied by a clever music video, in which we see the talented, experimental music artist be filmed by a professional camera, filming KarimThaPeasant, Purpl and their accomplices performing contemporary dance and ballet dance moves either in a studio space full of random, different set-ups or on a rooftop. Overall, it is an eye-catching visual, which fuses HD with low-budget, vintage-looking footage of the team performing “Mountain,” and the man himself gets his moment to showcase his Jazz-influenced guitar skills on the Electric in the middle 8 instrumental section via a masterfully performed solo. An interesting concept, complimenting Marble Empire’s new single perfectly, which features on the brand new mixtape “Marble Empire & Friends” out now on all online stores. Empire, without a doubt, chose the right vocal duo to perform on the song with him and the result of this musical combo is one word…perfect.
