Reacquaint yourself with Melbourne-based artist Sampa The Great, and her cracking new single “Rhymes To The East″, a minimal track which hits the spot from start to finish.

Equal parts songwriter, poet, singer and lyricist, "Rhymes To The East" is the first new music to be released via London label Big Dada.

Created with the help of Sensible J and Remi Kolawole and recorded in one take Sampa explained;

"It was a stand out track to me and one of the strongest lyrics I have captured to date. As soon as I heard this beat, I knew exactly what I wanted to say. I was immediately transported to the East.”

The track encompasses a low-key but equally luring aesthetic as Sampa’s thought-provoking words tear through a fusion of low slung beats, global rhythms and distinctively jazzy soundscapes.

Don't sleep on this one!
