HIP HOP AFTER ALL (Double vinyl Gatefold)

Description

Because without Hip Hop, Guts would not be the artist-producer he is today. This nurturing Hip Hop, a gateway to myriad musical styles, has triggered an ever-expanding musical voracity. A diving board from which he fell into a bottomless musical well. This Hip Hop that Guts has loved like a faithful friend for twenty-five years, despite its wanderings into the futile, the gangsta, or materialism. This Hip Hop that, in a quarter of a century, has made him spend entire nights with samplers, drum machines, expanders, and vinyl. Hitting pads, lining up snares, and chiseling samples. This Hip Hop, which today is often made remotely, through back-and-forth digital files, Guts has chosen to make it shine again like in the early days. Deciding after three entirely instrumental albums to reconnect with rappers, singers, jazzmen, and soulmen, he crossed the Atlantic with his productions under his arm, to record them in their New York and Californian environments. Exploring a diversity of styles, flows, and atmospheres, supported in production by the inexhaustible Dj Fab (Hip Hop Resistance) and backed from Paris by his label Heavenly Sweetness, Guts has built a mosaic of sixteen tracks that fit together to form a single concept: Hip Hop After All.
