AThis dude BACKWHEN is a really interesting, small Bandcamp artist. He's been really chill and open to conversation.
Fanboying has got me pretty far; we've basically been digi-penpals for almost 3 years.
He's an interesting fellow: His music is predominately hip-hop influenced but it has airy, jazz-samples and psychedelic influences.
It's most apt to describe him as post-trap. What does that mean? Well:
The second song is from an older album but still has the elements that make him unique; to me at least. His newer albums are all over the place, taking lots of risks and not pumping out 2m30s beat-loops that are lame and tame. His backing tracks are mostly held together by smooth jazzy-esque samples and airy synth melodies. Vocal samples from mainstream songs are mixed in sparingly--mostly in his older albums.
From top to bottom, I recommend supporting this guy. Unfortunately it's been quite a bit of money to collect all of his albums. This song is not indicative of his current style.
It's still really *****ing good imo.
There's something about this dude's blend of samples and chill/hard-in-the-paint beatwork.
Anyone interested, check out his Bandcamp page.
Message me if anyone is interested in helping me set-up some sharing of his music. I own almost every album and single off his page.
BUT MOSTLY: SUPPORT THIS FELLA. HE'S A GRINDER, A GOOD GUY AND SEEMS TO GENUINELY CARE ABOUT MAKING INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE BEATS.
Criminally underrated.
As you can tell, I am a huge nerd for this dude: BACKWHEN.

since this is not hiphop/rap... it doesn't belong in a hiphop/rap thread, does it? |
