Propo’88 & Self The Bluest Eye “Rhymes In Old Speak” EP

Rooted in dusty drums, introspective rhymes, and a deep respect for craft, the new“Rhymes In Old Speak” EP from Dutch producer Propo’88 and Canadian MC Self The Bluest Eye offers a concise yet weighty statement from two artists who’ve each built a steady reputation in the underground scene.

This five-track EP balances thoughtful lyricism with raw, head-nodding production.With his signature boom-bap style, Propo’88 delivers textured beats built from jazz- and soulinfused samples, laced with classic cuts and breaks. Known for his work with Da Shogunz, collaborations with BlabberMouf and his recent output with Wildelux as Certified Craftsmen, Propo’88 now curates Ground Beef Records — a growing collective of likeminded MCs and beatmakers from around the world.

Self The Bluest Eye, a sharp pen from Canada’s west, brings his distinct voice to the table: philosophical but grounded, poetic without losing touch. His writing draws from city life, personal evolution, and the search for meaning in everyday chaos. A longtime member of The Liberators, Self has steadily built a reputation for layered lyricism that rewards close listening.This project captures two craftsmen at work — no filler, no noise. Just well-built beats and considered rhymes, shifting between reflection and resistance. The result is raw and understated, yetunmistakably deliberate.
