SV and Alyssa Jane punch in with hypnotic alt-hip-hop heater in "Clocked"

SV and Alyssa Jane's new song and video for "Clocked" is a high-voltage hit of alternative hip hop which, à la Iceage's Everest, feels like you're sprinting the length of a neon-lit cityscape in two minutes flat. As soon as the beat drops, you're on a rhythm-soaked roller coaster ride, and you ain't getting off. It's brash and dripping with the kind of unfiltered cool that you can't force because it doesn't have to be.

SV's production style is crisp and magnetic, weaving a slick and gritty sound in all the right places. There's a sense of urgency here, a pulse that refuses to let things lie, almost like a ticking clock with no snooze button. Alyssa Jane drops in and shows out, bringing her bars with such  mad confidence that it adds another swagger to the track. Her voice cuts through the mix like a pro, with an edge balanced by finesse. The pair bounces off each other's energy seamlessly as if they've  been in the same creative pocket for years.

"Clocked" is one of those tracks that you repeat and hear something new each time: the bassline bounce, the nuance in the delivery, and the subtle skip in the beat that keeps it fresh. It is a song for late-night drives, illegal basement raves, and headphones cranked just loud enough to give you a sense of invincibility. SV and Alyssa Jane have found their adepts for those needing a jarring alternative hip-hop sound with the potential to crash the mainstream. "Clocked" is evidence of two artists in tune, in the pocket, that commands your attention.
