New Music: Revival Season: Atlanta Duo Pays Homage to a Hip-Hop Legend in "Slick Rick"

Revival Season is an exciting duo from Atlanta, Georgia, known for their explosive blend of hip-hop, punk, and experimental electronic music. The band is comprised of Jonah Swilley (production, instrumentation – also a member of Mattiel) and Brandon "Bridge" Cores (vocals). They describe their sound as "no genre," but it often features heavy, distorted basslines, raw vocals, and intricate, aggressive rhythms. Revival Season creates a powerful and often confrontational sonic experience, drawing from the energy of punk rock and the lyrical prowess of hip-hop. They've gained attention for their intense live performances and their ability to craft innovative tracks that defy easy categorization.

The Song: "Slick Rick"

"Slick Rick" is a recent single from Revival Season, released on May 30, 2025. It's a track from their upcoming album, "The Future is in My Past," which is set to be released on August 29, 2025, via Heavenly Recordings.

As the title suggests, "Slick Rick" is a direct homage to the legendary British-American rapper, Slick Rick (Richard Walters), known for his distinctive storytelling, unique voice, and iconic eyepatch. Lyrically, the song embodies the swagger and narrative flair reminiscent of the rap icon, likely featuring intricate wordplay and a confident delivery from Brandon Cores. Musically, "Slick Rick" showcases Revival Season's signature blend of heavy instrumentation and compelling vocals, creating a track that is both a tribute and a powerful statement in its own right.
