The sound of the EP could be best described as progressive hip hop, influenced by jazz, funk, Detroit techno and even classical music.
Benji B and Gilles Peterson played their songs on BBC 1Xtra and the EP also received several positive reviews: &quot;Who still thinks that hip hop is a one-sided gimmick, needs to be slapped in the face with this record. North West Metropolis is first-rate creativity. A must-have for your record collection.” - Music Magazine FRET.
As it was the first project where Pete Philly and Perquisite worked on together, North West Metropolis proved to be the prequel of Amsterdam hip hop duo <a href="spotify:artist:4XOAS1Q62GWP67HMX7ASk3" data-name="Pete Philly & Perquisite">Pete Philly & Perquisite</a>, who made two successful albums together and toured all over the globe.
