Its the thing to do, isnt it? Taking a familiar tune, compressing and sampling it, then re-editing it the way you see fit over a drum loop, etc; But what is to be said about the few pioneers who really try to get innovative on one of hip-hop's oldest cliches?
Listen for yourselves to the refreshing approach of Mr. Foreign English. A native of the DC Metro Area he brings to the genre a set of skills seen only by the enemies of Hattori Hanzo himself.
Merciless chopping and murdering with the old school/new school funk & R&B. Gracefully applying the techniques he learned as a youth in the after school music programs, a young, enthusiastic lyricist/photographer would someday grow into the multi-talented producer/rapper/graphic designer known as Foreign English, none more distinguished. bless.
Indeed, sir. Can't wait to come kick it again in D.C. this summer.
