Copenhagen hip-hop duo Maroc entrance with new track “Dead Pixel,” a cut off their self-titled EP, released a week ago today. Comprised of Cobo Maroc and Anton Bentzon, Maroc excels in displaying vocal sections that excel with both precise hip-hop flow and melodic pop hooks. Cobo impresses on the vocal front; his London accent coming “acquired through his English father.” The track impresses from the get-go, and truly grips around 01:09 when the haunting vocal backing emerges, though really gets going in the second half — when guitar additions and an intensifying vocal presence put a feather in the cap’s forward momentum. “Dead Pixel” is a great hip-hop track with rock/pop influence.
