Svelt St. Provides some Indie Flavored Rap
Svelt St. is a married dynamic duo who consist of vocalist Feelmore and Emcee Bang! Cheeto. together they craft inventive dance/rap/pop. The track “Po’ Boy” kicks off like a track by an indie songstress like Lykke Li or Maybe Robyn with a bouncy electro beat and soft female vocals before Bang! Cheeto starts rapping about “99 bottles”. Bang! Cheeto has some interesting credentials, having worked with several groups and releasing critically acclaimed EPs and having worked with Del the Funky Homosapien, but his fuzzed out telephone raps seem out of place. Svelt St. have a sound that’s akin to cough syrup, thick, sweet, but because of those raps it leaves a weird taste in your mouth.
