Proton forced his way into the scene with a quick power move during the war season which was popping off after Maxsta dropped It's Not What It Looks Like. Pro has since then used this buzz more than wisely and made his way on to LOTM5 clashing Realz which in my opinion was one of the best on the DVD. There is no doubt that talent was there from the beginning Proton just lacked the exposure but now he is getting the acclaim and using it to his full advantage. I definitely recommend downloading this E.P as it is consistently strong lyrically and the production on it is something to be proud of.
In this blog I will go through track by track and review...
1. Intro
Production on this track is meeeeeeeeeental! Big up XVII and Fade on this. Proton rides the beat well and it suits his flow well. A very strong track to start off the E.P which depicts his journey and mentions the reason for his buzz.
2. Breathe
A track which also features on the LOTM5 DVD and has a catchy hook to it. Definitely one to cement his name as a top artist in the grime scene and I have to give him props for mentioning Stevenage in a bar. Generally a sick track and Pro comes across as very humble in this track through thanking the new fans that are showing him support.
3. Lonely Nights
This track mellows down the tone of the E.P and gives you food for thought. Proton recognises his sincere nature and hardships in life which lead him to as the title suggests 'Lonely Nights'. Again giving a humble stance to the game.
4. Trapdoor Freestyle Pt.2
I personally had heard this track before listening to it on the E.P and it's another one of those productions that are done extremely well. It seems Pro is definitely in touch with top producers which only enhance his tracks as a whole. This track is a solid and consistent portrayal of Proton in the modern day which can only be a positive thing for him.
5. High Fashion ft. Dubz-D & TempoArtist
The chorus is extremely catchy on this track and really makes the track what it is in my opinion. Dubz-D reminds me of Dizzee Rascal when he first comes in on the tune and all features act consistent on this but I think all of them could have gone harder on this one.
6. Still Pro
This one really gassed me from the start the flow accompanied by the beat is too much. Proton states in this track that he has "the flows on lock" and I couldn't put it better myself in the case of this track. Proton is certainly Still Pro.
7. Show Out
The drop on this beat is crazy definitely one to vibes to. The flow is consistently strong but differs to other tracks on the E.P. This track seems to take a different stance to others on the E.P with a change in tempo being introduced into the flow and the beat catering for this need which works well.
8. 24-7 ft. KashWallis, Dazer, ellzBS & Argon
I hadn't heard of any of these features on this track however they all held it up well and killed the beat. I'll definitely be looking out for the features and individual projects they've got going on so props to Pro for bringing them to light. Pro himself held it up consistently like he has done throughout the E.P to make another strong tune.
