Listen, nod along & stand aside, ‘The Stone Has Been Removed’ is Burniscous’s latest slow-burning, melodic rap opus!

The title track from this eclectic artist’s latest EP, ‘The Stone Has Been Removed’ has a deeper significance. Firstly, its a line from a Biblical passage, Mark 16:4, denoting the stone that had been covering Jesus’s grave was rolled away, clearing the path for God’s son to make his triumphant return. Contextually, Burniscous delivers an empowering message of resilience, growth and liberation, wrapped in this silky smooth, melodic rap track.

We open onto an intriguing, slow-burning piano melody and faint echoes that set the foundation for Burniscous’s nonchalant lyrical flow to begin. He vocalises quite conversationally, but with a burning intent, ‘I woke at 6, my life’s a full on blitz’. As he sings, ‘The Stone Has Been Removed’, you sense that this comes from a place of him overcoming obstacles, and now he’s tapping into that exquisite place of inner calm and strength.

In a nutshell, that’s what this track’s core message is about. Burniscous invites us to overcome our obstacles, embrace our inner strength, and transform our hardships into creative energy.

At just under two and a half minutes, the track doesn’t overstay. It makes it point, albeit very cooly and creatively and leaves you to ponder the rest.

To grasp the full narrative, its probably better for listeners to go through Burniscous’ latest EP ‘The Stone Has Been Removed’ in its 3-track entirety. Start off with ‘Every Transition’, then to this one, the title track and finish at ‘I Aced Whats Been Testing Me’.

This is a collection of tracks that wears its heart proudly on its sleeve, showing off the artist’s creative confidence and authenticity. We love what we’ve heard from Burniscous!
