The Grouch & Daddy Kev – sound advice

Produced by Daddy Kev featuring The Grouch (Living Legends) and D-Styles (ex- Invisible Skratch Piklz / Beat Junkies) on the turntables.

The combined work of The Grouch, D-Styles (DJ), and Daddy Kev (producer), Sound Advice is a very short (21 minutes in total) dive into an experimental world of classical jazz/hip hop fusion.

The entire work stands out for its sharp use of jazz-tinted piano, string, and horn pieces floating over subtle „beats“ (I am loath to use that term when writing of hip hop) and elaborate double-bass riffs skilfully arranged into a hip hop context that „makes sense“.

It is recommended for the wonderfully original (in the context of a hip hop album) compositions and arrangements of D-Styles and Daddy Kev, as well as being a worthy introduction to The Grouch.

The 2nd 12″ contains the instrumental version…
