| CD-DETAILS RUP ON ZEBRA [RUP] |
|
"Rup On Zebra" is the full-length album follow up to the "Rup On Zebra" EP which dropped late 2006 on Zebra Traffic Records. The EP acquired support not only from the traditional UK hip hop horde, but also from further afield...gaining backing from some more unlikely musical quarters such as If Music (London), Nik Weston (Samurai FM), Simon S (Futuristica Music) & Boca 45, and also picking up radio plays on foreign shores.
Musically, "Rup On Zebra" is a satisfying mix of styles. Ranging from the more high energy club-based cuts like "Rollin", through to a more introspective sound heard on "Step" and "Do You Know", Rup's strength lies in his honesty. His finely honed lyrical patterns, unique flow and pre-occupation with the wilderness, offer an excitingly unguarded glimpse into the man's personality. His metaphors and similes manage to blend the day-to-day routines in South London with a refreshing zest for life outside of the capital. He is content to drop the staple hip hop braggadocio – but he is equally at home being self-effacing and examining his regular tendency for over-excess, all of which instills his music with that undeniable and appealing honesty.
Look out for further appearances on the Dirty Diggers album "The Pleasure Is All Mine", the Skillmega album, the TM Juke 12" remix of "Skin", plus a string of live dates to promote the album.
