Right at the top of this year we let you know about West Londoner Motive105's plans for his new project, The Drive Downtown: Part One, and its lead single "The Introduction: Part One". At the time we commented on his straight-to-the point lyricism and mature outlook on life, and it seems as if the rest of the EP has made good on those promises.

Moments of uplifting, almost spiritual soul are mixed in with conscious rhymes and broad, sweeping soundscapes. He packs a lot into just five tracks, exploring subjects like fatherhood and community as he closes the door on the man he used to be while looking towards his future with a newfound wisdom.

Speaking on his headspace when he made the EP, he explained: "I made The Drive Downtown: Part One just before my first born arrived into this world, so in the process of growth I knew I had to let go of some demons in order to move forward. The project was an introduction to a life long commitment towards my love for music and the love surrounding me that enabled me as a creative to gift the world my story in confidence.

"The intent behind this project was to be able to take a listener through several emotions on the spectrum, displaying how a confident brash young man can also be vulnerable in the right hands at any given time."
