A dancing groove
The two titles « Next Generation » and « The Reality » are tinged with a modern atmosphere between electro-disco and West Coast beat with some trap revivals. They carry a serious message that the world needs to hear. We will have understood it from the first notes. “The musician cannot use arms, he uses words and poetry to defend the common dream of humanity, that of freedom, all the more effective when it is associated with a dancing groove”, confides the musician .
« Next Generation » also takes a moving look at the future with the participation of the artist’s children (instruments, featuring and choirs), an inspiring illustration of artistic filiation. « The Reality », as for him, « shouts in a subterranean and hoarse way the coldness of reality. It borrows the accents of dub from Kingston, the gangsta rap beat of the West Coast, dancehall, reggae, trap intersect with ever more funky pop., he says.
