Cuckoo – Estate

ByKirklees Most WantedInMusic ReviewsOnMarch 3, 2025March 3, 2025

Batley-based rapper Cuckoo, a self-taught artist, brings a fresh perspective to the local hip-hop scene. Crafting his music entirely from his bedroom, he channels a deep passion and determination, drawing inspiration from hip-hop legends like Eminem, 2Pac, and Biggie Smalls.

Cuckoo distinguishes himself by injecting vibrancy and humor into his music and visuals. His track “Estate,” accompanied by a community-driven music video filmed on the Wilton estate, reflects this approach. Instead of the typical dark and serious tone often associated with local rap, Cuckoo delivers bouncy, lighthearted, and sometimes comedic tracks.

“Estate” provides a glimpse into life on a council estate, but with a twist. Rather than focusing on the hardships, Cuckoo uses humor to highlight the everyday experiences, offering a relatable and often funny take on a topic that’s often portrayed negatively. He is currently working on his debut album “Orpheus.”

Cezza Sean, a Huddersfield-based artist, crafts a unique sonic alchemy, transforming personal experiences into vibrant and uplifting music.

Cezza Sean’s music is deeply spiritual & philosophical, incorporating elements of Far Eastern philosophy through both his message and his soundscapes. He believes in the power of music to uplift and inspire, creating a space for listeners to connect with their inner selves.

“New Flex” embodies this ethos. The track challenges the traditional notions of “flexing” material possessions, instead advocating for health and wellness as the ultimate display of strength. Cezza Sean emphasizes the fleeting nature of material goods, highlighting that true fulfillment comes from nurturing one’s mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. “New Flex” promotes a shift in perspective, urging listeners to prioritize their health as the greatest flex of all.
