High Five- Call It What You Want
by Tim Wenger
This is the deal- High Five is the most talented, versatility-wise, hip hop act in Denver. The lyricism starts off at the point of good, clean fun- then dives head-first into the abyss of lost feelings of youth and then the pool of challenges that daunt everyday life. All of these feelings are then wrapped tightly into a sticky joint and sparked with beats drawing influence from early hip-hop as well as rock, electronica, and the rebounding scene of turntable dj-ing.
The new record, Call It What You Want, truly showcases how these guys came to be a group in the first place- a molding of the Denver hip-hop scene’s honor roll. Catch them August 20-22 at Higher Ground Music Festival in RiNo.
