For the serious amateur hip-hop underground, there is a name which is no longer possible to abstraction. A rapper since 2004, the release of his first official album, accumulating praise from the public but also from peers. This name is obviously that of Ceschi Ramos artist from the U.S. west coast (Los Angeles specifically) but now relocated to New Haven, Connecticut. By 94, he and his brother David Ramos left the project / label / c is not clear Anonymous Inc. . Since then, they have also created the label Fake Four in honor of the four fingers of right hand Ceschi.
is however in 2007 that was successful Ceschi esteem with the release of the album "They Hate Francisco False" on its own label. A good album, nothing more. The tone is a bit whiny and he must love the genre "rap singing, which seems to become increasingly fashionable in some networks. It is once again Scott Da Ros who lent me this disc for me to listen. I'm not super hooked on the moment, only by listening to his collaboration with Noah 23 that I wanted to throw me a bit more in the discovery of this artist.
It happened about the same thing with Atmosphere. Upon the release of "God Loves Ugly," there was a big hype around this rapper. So I listened to his album in stores and have not liked him instantly. It's his song on the compilation " Music for the Advancement of Hip-Hop " label Anticon "Nothing but Sunshine" which opened the door of his universe, humor and depth.
way since 2007, accumulating Ceschi guest appearances and tours most U.S. and Europe (but never came to Montreal ...). One can understand why. It is inviting to a collaboration with Ceschi; versatile rapper, just able to sing, play instruments, rap normal and "double time "and often within the same song. It can adapt to all sorts of styles and contexts, and normally helps to enhance a piece by catchy choruses.
His new disc," The One Man Band Broke Up "is produced by DJ Scientist and is really interesting. We served a hip-hop after all fairly conventional, with employees who follow him from the beginning and a few guests who crossed his path in recent years. Ceschi plays several instruments such; synth guitar, banjo, ukulele, piano, bass ... which gives the final disc melodically rich and varied enough to sustain interest in the entire album. There's even a song that reminded me of Peter Gabriel era Genesis (For My Hip Hop Disappointing Heroes). The songs are very well built, talk about loneliness, the difficulty to live music (superb "No New York "with Astronautalis) of unhappiness, death, loss of innocence ... We go from folk, a kind of prog, then to Hip-Hop with the passage of the drumkits more jazzy.
It means that if a "one man band" broke up, is due to internal conflicts between different factions. This internal separation is an interesting concept and I do not know if Ceschi it has the same meaning as me. One famous psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan's question is: "Who said I?". Indeed, in us the ability to speak on behalf of our whole being? Gurdjieff meanwhile had also warned us, we built a multitude of "me" who constantly compete and help keep us in a state of semi-sleep. "Life're real when I'm" reminds us there.
The guests on this disc are quite numerous and sharing the tasks of production, arrangements and musical composition. Emphasize the presence of Sole on the song "Long Live The Short Lived, "The only low point of the disc. No part as such, but the couplet Sole is a commonplace ... Increasingly, I feel Sole does not force to write when working on the disc to someone else. I had the same impression with his verse on the album Bleubird RIP USA. Maybe it's me who also is just saturated. Speaking of Sole, his second disc with the Skyrider Band was released on Fake Four and not as Anticon ... How times change. Still, I miss it:
The label
Fake Four seriously beginning to get noticed. Become a major player in the underground. They released the excellent album Myka 9 "1969" (if you've slept on this album Wake Up! Back to listen, an excellent example of what it means to have the flow disk ...), Factor of (beatmaker Western Canada) and the collaboration between Awol One and Factor . It is still the same beatmaker who produced the disc Myka 9, it invents nothing, but is very effective. Fake Four but is not that hip-hop is pop, progressive rock, mixes genres sometimes successful and sometimes less. One of the nice Success is the disc's younger brother Ceschi David Ramos "This Up Here".
