Our weekly segment Submission Sundays features the “Lullaby (Cypher)” from Copenhagen, Denmark-based group Affiliated. The cypher features Manus Bell, Fundi Wake, Silhouette, Dutch Digler, Jonah Wright, Tarick, Mellow, Melissa Inya, Gavin, and HejMahn.
“The intensive team spirit can be felt to the core when Affiliated’s artists perform to perfection in the most technical and ambitious cypher seen on Danish soil.”
Affiliated’s first release – a cypher entitled “Lullaby,” introduces the company’s team of 21 talented artists. The Cypher constitutes a solid mark on the industry from the new kids on the block. With huge international potential, this cypher shows that Affiliated has come to stay. The tough and serious expression immediately captivates the listener and draws us into a timeless universe. The artists compliment each other with their personal touch across language, style and flow. They all have a distinct sound and the different styles contribute to the holistic expression of the cypher, binding Affiliated together. Unity is a continuous theme throughout the cypher where all Affiliated artists, including producers, are present and represented throughout the video. The beat is composed by the Affiliated producers; SNDY, 20/20 and Yuwanit, who raise the bar to the highest level with hard Trap drums, melancholic melodies and a penetrating bass.
