Vodafone Unlimited presenta Hip Hop All Stars

Anche se la mia idea di Hip Hop italiano si è fermato a tre lettere che suonano più o meno come SXM, mi rendo contro che è ora di scrollarsi di dosso vecchi pregiudizi e non pensare come un vecchio. Il 18 marzo è la data in cui potrei cambiare idea quando, in una sola serata, Fabri Fibra, Marracash e Clementino, passando per Rocco Hunt, Salmo e Noyz Narcos, legati dalle basi e dai set dei producer Shablo e Fritz Da Cat si ritroveranno per la prima volta tutti su un palco per una serata senza precedenti. L’appuntamento è al Supertudio Più di via Tortona 27 dalle 20,00. L’ingresso è gratuito ma se vuoi sperare di entrare ti devi iscrivere subito qui.

Dezeen Music Project: Family Music by Y’Skid

Here’s another track by Eindhoven-based hip hop producer Y’Skid. Family Music is a bit jazzier than the previous track we featured by Y’Skid, but has still got a great hip hop groove.

We liked the track so much we used it on the soundtrack to our first Dezeen and MINI World Tour movie from Eindhoven with Miriam van der Lubbe.

Dezeen Music Project: Doubtful by Y’Skid

Dezeen is in Eindhoven for the penultimate leg of our Dezeen and MINI World Tour, so we thought we should seek out some musical talent based in the city.

Y’Skid is a local producer who has created some great jazz-infused hip hop tracks. This instrumental called Doubtful has quite a different vibe, but we love its laid-back groove.
