Motifs

Description

The 20syl style is now a universe of its own. An artist who has been evolving since the early 1990s in the beatmaking scene, whose hip hop productions are distinguished by the use of analog and vintage sounds. He stands out within the C2C collective, with which he won 4 world champion titles in turntablism and popularized the discipline with the album Tetra, released in 2012. Co-creator of the On And On Records label, 20syl has managed to captivate with a refined identity far from trends and beaten paths, making him an essential figure in the contemporary music scene. In addition to this unique musical production, he also stands out for creating album covers and music videos, making him a complete artist. The EP Motifs by 20syl, released in 2014, was a resounding success. The result of a rich collaboration with artists such as rapper Oddisee, who aligned his mischievous flow with the festive boom-bap of "Ongoing Thing," a track that has garnered over 21 million streams on Spotify. Likewise for the excellent "Voices," which accumulated nearly 14 million streams, where the beatmaker invited young Chicago rapper Rita J. We also find trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf on the futuristic "Seven Eleven," where vocal samples, trumpets, and guitar riffs blend harmoniously.
