Paul White - 'Rapping with Paul White' album out now
Praised as someone who “embodies all that is good about a new generation of producers” (Dazed & Confused), Paul White has won over fans of left-leaning sounds and interesting hip-hop, including Diplo, Mary Anne Hobbs, Benji B and Gilles Peterson. His 2009 debut album The Strange Dreams of Paul White introduced a hip-hop producer with a deft touch, a quirky sense of humour and a refreshing lack of regard for the conventions of the genre.
There was also something very British about his avoidance of the traditional soul, jazz and funk sample sources of his hip-hop forebears in favour of prog and psychedelic rock, reggae and the abandoned vinyl of English charity shops. Paul’s playfulness and world-class production chops are also evident throughout his Sounds From The Skylight beat tape, which rounded off an impressive 2009.
The appointed hour has arrived. Rapping With Paul White is available for full streaming and download. 18 tracks to astound, amuse and rattle your windows from the ever-fertile mind of Paul White.
Rapping With Paul White features your favourite rappers' favourite rappers: Danny Brown, Guilty Simpson, Homeboy Sandman, Jehst and more - but in case you like your beats boast-free we're including all the instrumentals as a hidden bonus. It's just £6 for the high-quality version and has been known to increase life-expectancy by as much as 0.3%.
