kelvyn Colt Traded for You

This is the first taste of KELVYN COLT‘s new EP. The lead track Traded For You shows a sampling of how big the slick hip-hopper’s talent is and musical style. His rough, yet cool vocal delivery accompanies the production from Jumpa that rolls smoothly into one huge record.

Kelvyn’s debut release independently charted for 10 weeks on the German VIVA Black Charts reaching number 18 with fellow rapper Elijah Hook. With that success, he then opened for Ace Hood (Germany), Adam Tensta (Germany) and has gained an endorsement from Monster Products (Germany).

He has now relocated to London from Berlin in order to increase his international exposure and become part of the thriving and inspiring scene in the UK, where he has already opened for Tim Westwood and has been doing various shows at DSTRK and The Box.

Currently Kelvyn is working on new music. His first UK release is a powerful piece of Hip Hop. He’s been working with some of the biggest producers in Europe who crafted some of the planets biggest artists including; US producer Purpdogg (Drake feat Soulja Boy – We Made It), Cubeatz (Drake, Meek Mill ), OZ (Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Big Sean, Drake, Travis Scott ) Jumpa ( Sony ATV writer and producer), Abaz (Warner Brothers multi platinum producer of Young Thug, Booba – a French rap icon), Robot Koch (electronic music legend, part of red bull music academy), Sugayboy & Hyperfine and Deadrabbit (German producer icon)

This is a stunning debut from a great new rapper that brings the UK, Europe and Africa together. Watch the magic happen.

Song of the Day: Why? – Adrien Bass

Adrien bass why

Today’s song is Why? by British/Senegal reggae artist ADRIEN BASS. The single is coming from his album, Assaults.

Whilst growing up in the Caribbean, this music enthusiast learned to play the banjo, but did not fully exploit his musical talents until he moved to England. He started off as a DJ in Yorkshire and went on to play in a reggae band in London and developed a taste for jazz. To expand his desire for the genre, the true rastaman  studied jazz music at college, where he rustled up some talented musician…and the band ABASS was born. Having back-to-back gigs across London, the band quickly gained respect from the underground Jazz scene.

Now armed with his unique infusion of reggae and jazz, ADRIEN BASS took his music career to the next level and started a record label called Organic Jazz Records, based in Senegal and is now working with some of the biggest producers and upcoming musicians in the country and London.

So there you have it! Take time out and listen to Why? This song features that typical classic reggae/lovers rock chill out groove coupled with though provoking and truth-be-told lyrics.

If you’re digging this track, play a visit to his Soundcloud page where there’s a catalogue of his mind-blowing tracks. Once you get there, listen to The Eyes Never Tell a Lie and Dub of Visions for the full reggae/jazz experience. Heart-meltingly beautiful!
