Format: LP
Catalogue No.: CSOUTAKEONE
Barcode: 5065003218024 
Release Date: 17 Sep 2021
Genre: Hip Hop

Take One is the cinematic debut release from the minds of Hampshire born emcee Deeflux and seminal producer Kraze. Created through a chaotic and turbulent life journey, the project was born out of the collective need to change direction musically by both artists.

The results are an accomplished and often brutally honest prose, overlaid across a wide range of soundscapes scaling the spectrum of alternative rap music. Themed around cinema, each track tells a story like a window into the artists lives covering a range of topics and emotions with Deeflux’s trademark labyrinthine wordplay weaving effortlessly over Kraze’s diverse production.

The LP, originally intended as a mixtape and picked up and pressed by Broke Records was fraught with tragedy. From faulty metal work, lost livelihoods and the eventual loss of all stock it sadly never saw the proposed release until now. Certain Sound received a phone call out of the blue after the stock was
re discovered and have re packaged with the full intended “Directors Cut” as downloadable content in a limited run of coloured and heavy weight black vinyl.
