An international collaboration between Detroit rapper SAM BE YOURSELF (featured on Netflix's Rhythm + Flow) and Asian-Australian producer NATHAN HUI-YI, the 9-track album provocatively titled DIE WITH A BUZZ heralds the new wave of modern artists using digital studios to forge an unlikely multicultural hip-hop partnership across the world.
The result is an unusual and intriguing bespoke underground rap album that is as ambitious as it is surprising.
DIE WITH A BUZZ brings an innovative and genre-defying approach, blending hip-hop, jazz, funk, and world rhythms to create a thought-provoking and socially conscious musical work.
The record goes against the grain by incorporating improvised guitar and saxophone solos, seamless blends of intricate rhythms and nostalgic samples, and thought-provoking storytelling from feature artists across the globe.
All of this has been wholly built from the ground-up by the artists themselves, free to creatively explore without any label interference or censorship. This is true DIY underground music, authentically bootstrapped by two visionary creatives across the globe. Strap in.
