I don’t know. I wasn’t under the impression that 7″ hip hop silnges were made. And I’m not really a big fan of his, mainly due to the production. It reminds me way too much of man machine era kraftwerk, which works for them obviously. But it doesn’t mesh that well with his vocal delivery which is far more earthly and organic sounding than the robotic delivery of ralph und florian. I mean, this sort of production is preferable to, say, Pharell with his overly loud beats and nigh distorting mixes, but it just seems hollow to me, similar to how early Talk Talk feels to me.
