SYSTEM - Ivory Keyes (Rap) Ivory Keyes makes his debut on our blog with latest single “SYSTEM”, a dark and dangerous cut laced with urgency. This is a track that amps you up, with a hard hitting percussion and an edgy synth foundation that reminds us of a Skrillex production. But the unique vocal stylings of Ivory makes the track, as a dark and guttural voice conveys darkness, rawness and danger. It douses the record in character, whether from a rapid fire spit or the repeated chant (which was our favorite lyric). It’s a growl, sitting in the throat, which creates a uniquely identifiable sound for the rapper that we haven’t heard since DJ Kool’s “Let Me Clear My Throat.”
Best Lyric: “All of my life I’ve been making a living, breaking the law and ducking the systems.“
