Sounds Like
John Legend singing like D'angelo, to a song composed by Stevie Wonder written by Dr. Laura and a black preacher.
Mother taught me not to talk to strangers, so when sending a friend invite, be personable and introduce yourself... Since most people don't read this, I'll keep it brief.
As a child Narykcin was addicted to microphones, keyboards, and anything that could make sound. Like most black kids, I cut my teeth in the church.
Eight years of my life was spent as a classical double bassist. Throughout high school and middle school I played trombone, bassoon, cello, viola, and the triangle.
In college I started singing. I traveled and recorded for 4 years with Franklin & Marshall's Poor Richards.
In 2005 I decided to try my hand at production. My goal, simple, make music to inspire and uplift people; encouraging them to LIVE.
There's no question that Narykcin's musical footprint is laced with the rich textures of gospel music, jazz, and R&B, but it also bring something fresh to the table. Like a child explaining where babies come from, Narykcin brings a type of innocence to his production that manifests itself in his creative sound-bed. The dreamy synths, which he builds; the neo-classical piano riffs, which he composes; the gospo-jazz chord progressions, which he plays; and his soulful voice (sometimes) make for a real treat. While you never know what his next track is going to sound like, you should expect that it's going to be original, musical, and relevant.
Si le Rap francais était le World Trade Center, "Punchliner" (deja dispo en precommande) serait le premier avion a le percuter, et l'album a venir "Je vous aime" (22 fevrier 2010) pourrait bien faire trembler ses fondations !!
Taipan est le rappeur le plus excitant du moment, multipliant les projets et freestyles sur le site de son label LZO Records (WWW.LZORECORDS.COM)
, ce ne serait pas etonnant qu'il fasse sa place plus vite que Jean Sarkozy, mais uniquement par son talent !
Ce que les gens en disent :
"La mixtape est dispo depuis aujourd'hui. Pour résumer, si vous la précommandez, un lien de téléchargement vous est offert pour patienter jusqu'au 20 décembre, et ce pour 9.99€...
Ca tourne en boucle depuis des heures chez moi, et le verdict est sans appel.
Les inédits sont de très haute volée avec notament "tu rêves" ou encore le remix de "debout là-dedans" par Lartizan. Et la combinaison Taipan/Soklak, qui est le point d'orgue de la tape et accessoirement, l'hymne des branleurs. Une alchimie comme on en voit rarement sur une bête de prod de CHI qui vous fera danser comme un con tout seul chez vous." Follow the leader http://follow-the-leader.blogspot.com
