CutUp Clutch Presents An Imposing Voice On “Salt In The Game”

Presence is key for modern hip-hop artists. Production values matter as well, but really, the crucial aspect for making or breaking is just presenting a poised, almost imposing voice in recordings that will catch the ear of fans enough to build a following. It’s something you can notice immediately for some hip-hop artists, which is exactly the case for local MC CutUp Clutch firmly displays on the new single and video for “Salt In The Game.”

Familiar yet fresh, “Salt In The Game” is a free-flowing rap track lifted from the top of the brain of a restless musician. The lyrics are sharp and direct, delivered through a vocal style that cuts through the mix and commands attention with its pressing tone. The production underneath is top-notch as well, complementing CutUp Clutch’s tenacious flow with a crafty beat that relies more on textural layering than thumping bass.

“Salt In The Game” is one of three songs from CutUp Clutch this year so far, alongside “Itchn For Blood” and “Back Out” which also received visuals available on his YouTube page. Distinct yet connected, each showcases a musician whose drive will surely yield more music later this year.
