AFROB - Beats, Rhymes & Mr. Scardanelli (Ltd. Black Vinyl) (Sealed) (2LP)

If the name Afrob comes up, the local hip hop community has a picture in front of its eyes: That's the rap rock, whose MC presence can easily fill a stage, the live monster with the hit beats. A rather less common association so far: Afrob with live band. Until now. With the Tribes of Jizu Afrob has finally found the perfect band and recorded the live best-of beats, Rhymes & Mr. Scardanelli with them. I was always very anti-band and preferred the classic setup of DJ and MC,"confirms Afrob. The fact that I am working with a band is simply because of the band: If not the Tribes of Jizu, I wouldn't do that. I've been looking for this kind of band all my life. The unique combo fully lives up to this praise: with their loop sessions series, to which they regularly invite rap greats for joint gigs, the five musicians from Regensburg have earned themselves a reputation as the only German hip hop band worthy of the name and met Afrob in this context in 2016.
