Patient Zero by Prime Sinister

My second album, 'Patient Zero' was released on the 10th of January 2020. The album is produced by Leaf Dog, Baileys Brown, Badhabitz, Illinformed, Muckaniks, Chemo, Pitch 92, Ded Tebiase, GhostTown, Sean Peng, Morriarchi, Harvey Gunn and Farmabeats. In other words: it is the best production line-up ever in UK hip-hop. I created a new style of rhyming called Syllablism on my last album, 'Riot Gear For The Soul', which featured Chester P.

The highly lyrical 15-track album features Skuff, Harvs Le Toad and Vitamin G. The entire album is set in an alternative universe called 'Rage' in which anything is possible, however intangible or conceptual.

The following takes place in an alternative universe called ‘Rage’, in which the common tongue is Syllablism, or the act of speaking only in related, corresponding words. The people of this world eat and drink, forget and forgive, repair and destroy like we do, except this world offers them more. Like how the brain only operates at 5%, so does our world and the space in which it exists. The people of Rage operate at 100, and so their story will be told in a hundred portions. I lived there for 6 months myself, but was released onto Earth when my existence became known. There, I am known as Patient Zero. Here, I am just a writer, and so here I will tell their stories.

BIO

Prime Sinister, is a 24-year old Londoner and musical revolutionary. As the creator of his own rhyme style, “Syllablism”, Prime Sinister has crafted songs in which every word, line and verse are not only interconnected but for the first time, symmetrical. Prime Sinister’s rhyme style can probably be more simply defined as the consecutive use of rhyming syllable patterns. But, on listening to it in action, it’s clearly more complex. The words arrange themselves into sequence – syllable families, reunited to tell stories of a dystopia, expanding themselves naturally into verses. They play out in their natural state, unpolluted, forming elaborate stories almost independent of interference from the writer. It is the act of relinquishing ego and letting the words play themselves out, however disorienting – it is as if the writer does not exist, and we are listening to language unadulterated from the manipulations of man. The very act of making an album in a singular style is a unique experiment in hip-hop – and Prime Sinister has done it with flair in abundance.

Growing up in London in the 2000’s, Prime Sinister was exposed to music that would change the course of his life. Consuming albums from Nas’ Illmatic to Dizzee Rascal’s Boy In Da Corner, and encountering the music of the UK underground, Prime Sinister studied the greatest albums in hip hop and stumbled across the true hidden potential of the genre – and ushering hip-hop writing into the next stage of its evolution as an intricate, intellectual art form.
