I do not often talk about hip-hop here. Must also say that it is rarely in the aesthetic field as lightning strikes occur my most memorable.
Once is not custom: behold my recent musical wanderings lead me in the footsteps of some pretty amazing lads who would give me almost want to invest in a white tracksuit and ask about the price of the bracelets.
This week, I discovered the work of September , French rapper with a pen dipped well, which recently released an album called "Hangman" with his fellow LARTIZAN. The disc is available from LZO Records but listenable in its entirety on Deezer . For my part I'm stuck on the track "You kill" (as in listening to their myspace), joyful response to ego-trip photos and postures dominant male is still in force in urban cultures. You will - I guess - not surprised that I like m'entiche of text, rich in evocative images such as "If I were a tape you'd be a box" or "You're Monica Bellucci in summer dress / I'm still Larusso Pete to get his Gucci in his Audi TT. " Good sound, good rhymes, like the best moments of Svinkels, but most street-credible and just under schoolboy.
Across the Channel, there is the group MONGREL , who is about to release his first album, I was also well done kiffer the vibes . Designed as a supergroup filled with indie-rock coolos (members of Arctic Monkeys and Babyshambles there are pum-tchak and bling-blang), the project stands above the competition thanks to the participation of rappers and rappers almost -unknown but fierce, coming on brilliantly spluttering beats likeable. It is not very far from the crossover popularized by Gorillaz, but the tone is more virulent, the most outspoken MC, also in a spirit reminiscent of old potato Asian Dub Foundation. Go see the video of "The Menace" to get an idea and do not overlook the album's release: he takes seriously the road.
