Bad FX & Abud.SP - Marine Port
Abud is one of the original beat heads from São Paulo / SP, a place where hip hop culture is infected in peoples’ dnas, since its the closest thing to a local folklore manifestation we got. A devoted golden era spirit whose creative ritual is vinyl-sampled, MPC-processed, and scratch-infused. He was born in breaks and raised in rhythm, largely fed by jazz and other styles of instrumental music. It’s only fitting that a cat with such a vast, varied sound pallet finds a music wise twin soul in a land far faraway from home. But when things are meant to be, not even the ocean in between can stop the rock. The album you’re holding right now is a proof of that.
Bad FX was born in London, a Jamaican roots resident microphone fiend. A true underground king, the MC is a part of the Omniverse crew, whose other members also make appearances throughout the journey here. Bad’s vocals and cadences fit Abud’s b-boy batuque effortlessly, and the results ain’t nothing but classic boom bap, fresh for ‘21. The reason for the palatable easy going feeling that the full length exhale? They both have that same mindstate. Written by Rodrigo Brandão
