looking for some refreshingly innovative, stripped back hip hop? well this next track is for you then, Ha-Ha from Chicago-based hip-hop experimentalist Serengeti {David Cohn} off his forthcoming debut solo album "Family & Friends" (2011).
"She helped me get over rap
She taught me how to mix paint
and how to make the perfect black."
Ha-Ha is a lo-fi, experimental, verité/social realist-style hip-hop track for the jaded et world-weary, filled with nostalgic crackle/hiss et fat distorted beats, along with super-catchy, detached Laurie Anderson-esque female a cappella-style harmonies {by Hazel & Martha Brown of Otouto} et infectious hand-clap, rhythmic percussion, Cohn's naturalistic, matter-of-fact delivery suits the everyday, mundane situations, events et experiences he relates/confides to us, these personal yet familiar insights are what give Ha-Ha a unique et fascinating "autobiographic" dynamic. enjoy!
MP3: Ha-Ha
the "Family & Friends" album is set to drop July 19th via Anticon Records, pre-orders can be made at UGHH {Underground Hip Hop} or CD Universe.
