Formed of rapper Stackie McClean and producer Squid Jackalsen, Hijack Stories recently emerged with a vision for a unique concept band. The duo set themselves up as time-travelling AIs, the first dataset to survive quantum entanglement, brought back one thousand years from 3024 to 2024. Made to replace the last of humanity, the pair are unaware of any reason they should be brought to this point in history but are set on finding out.
Their debut album ‘Chapter II’ reflects this unparalleled approach, crafting a futuristic sound that experiments with the extent of hip-hop and its influences. Live recordings are balanced with electronic production for interesting arrangements, whilst lyrical flows are delivered with impressive energy which gives the project an infectious movement.
Hijack Stories shares an insight, “We put this record together as an experiment. Two different artists from two different backgrounds, spent the best part of two years together (inside an Art Simulator), fusing our many different styles and influences into what is now our debut album Chapter II.”
