Comment: Chicago rapper
Xception and Amsterdam producer G-DO do insist in the introducing track Outline that their purpose is to
introduce the Nigerian legend Fela Kuti`s music to a newer audience. Indeed, in
their first Felastatic album (10
tracks) they would complete their task regarding a mix between nowadays hip-hop
music elements and hovering, psychedelic nature of afro beat/funk//afro futuristic
rhythms and prominent harmonic sensitivity. For instance, listen to The Revolutionist, a fabulous blend of
dance appealed rhythms, convulsive scratch flecks and hectic chants which are
about to rear the listener`s feel and intoxicate it with timeless perception
regarding good kind of music. On the other side, it does not surprise with regard
to crafty production abilities being previously experienced by those producers.
However, they would release a sequel to this issue in 2013. In a word, hail to
the king Fela Anikulapo Kuti (1938-1997).
