After previous collaborations and a lead single, SNAKEGANG, the formation of Snakehips and EARTHGANG, are here with their first project. Titled SNAKEGANG EP Volume 1, it features the UK electronic Wonder Twins and the eclectic rap duo from Atlanta, Georgia. Both have a tendency to stray away from the norm, so this pairing coming together for a longer-form release makes perfect sense. Sadly, as you can see from the title, this an extended play record, one that consists of five songs. Additionally, you also know that it features a lead-off track. That would be the now closer “Been A Minute…” which features London, England songwriter, Sinead Harnett.

If you were able to check that one out, you will remember that it has a strong dance/disco and electropop vibe. That is exactly what you are getting out of this 13:39 long EP. Overall, this tape isn’t necessarily reinventing the wheel or anything. But what SNAKEGANG does do is bring a nonstop dance party from beginning to end. It’s here to bring fun and hypnotizing grooves and it succeeds in that goal. EARTHGANG has been moving in this direction ever since the release of the single “BLACKLIGHT” in November of last year. That record laned on their early 2024 EP ROBOPHOBIA. Obviously, with this being a Volume 1 for SNAKEGANG, there is a good chance we may get more projects from them in the future. While we hope for that, check out what they have to offer with the links below.

If there is one thing that EARTHGANG and Snakehips can relate to; it is the ability to work with any artist. Over the years, we have seen both collectives crossover with relative ease and produce some great tracks. The latter is true on this newest EARTHGANG cut, “Been A Minute…”. For the Atlanta, Georgia hip-hop tandem, this is continuing an already bustling 2024. It follows up on their ROBOPHOBIA EP from late February. Additionally, it comes after their feature on the single “Slide By”, alongside The WRLDFMS Tony Williams and BJ The Chicago Kid. As for the UK electronic producing duo, Snakehips, it supersedes a handful of remixes, as well as a guest placement on the record, “ROOM IS ON FIRE”. Also, in the fold on “Been A Minute…” is London, England songstress, Sinead Harnett.

She is arguably having the biggest year out of all three artists, dropping an album in late April. Boundaries, her fourth album, has received lots of critical praise for being one of Sinead’s most vulnerable records to date. Overall, though, everyone is doing well in 2024, so getting them all together on this song is a welcome treat. We say that too, because this is the lead single for Snakehips and EARTHGANG’s forthcoming EP, SNAKEGANG. According to Hypebeast, it will hit platforms on July 19 and possess five cuts. “Been A Minute…” features a great summertime aesthetic, with its sweet vocals from Sinead, and the carefree rapping from the MCs. “The tune is about moving on from a bad relationship, getting away from the negativity, and moving forward with positivity and no bad feelings. It’s a good vibe and was super fun to cook up”, Snakehips explained. Indeed, it is and we are going to bump it a ton going forward.
