Description
Sly Johnson's beatmaker project TAGi & Steven Beatberg, sees the acclaimed French rapper, producer and beatboxer return to his hip hop roots alongside Georgia Anne Muldrow and Rapper Big Pooh.
After three EPs dominated by instrumentals, the 'duo' finally chose to realise their dream: to craft a multi-voice album where customized production for each guest would guide the creative process.
Rapper Big Pooh, the former member of the Little Brother group (With Phonte & 9th Wonder), the contemporary soul of Lisa Spada, but also the French rapper Pumpkin (worthy descendant of MC Solaar, Fabe ...), multi-faceted Georgia Anne Muldrow, the MC Finale, the new rising wave of artists of the Hip-Hop scene in Detroit. Tiemoko from Paris, Saga an MC who follows the pure tradition of the New York Hip-Hop, the very smooth-jazzy Elodie Rama and Dilouya, the producer of the previous record of Sly (The Mic Buddah), are of this casting where men and women share the roles and where TAGi as soon as the mic presents itself to him, becomes again Sly Johnson for some refrains, choruses or solo rereading of the sublime "Retrograde" of James Blake.
Guided by hip hop since the '90s until today, worked in great detail, 'Youaresurrounded' highlights vintage keyboards on granular rhythms, injecting a lascivious Soul, P-funk, electro futuristic or melancholic in black and white touches on thirteen tracks that are as atmospheric as they are emotional.
