On his newly released beat-tape,
Collard Greens,
Beatsmith Collective member
Fawks offers up a nice mix of original and organic sounding hip hop instrumentals that have a real improvisational jazz feel about them. While the running line of the project is a series of sound bytes espousing the benefits of a holistic, vegetable rich diet, the real theme of this project is the melding of live instrumentation and sampled rhythms in a very free-form type of way.
Fawks and company conceive and execute a really dope concept that's strictly for the lo-fi, fusion-jazz lovers out there. Stand outs include
"Samphire", "Nori", "Kale", "Florets", and
"Chard (Golden Sunrise..)".
"Second full length beat tape by Fawks, featuring original Jazz Piano and bass, topped diverse samples hand picked from dusty dollar bins around Denton, TX. This tape will take you through steps on healing yourself through holistic means, namely the food you put in your system. The sounds created here will inspire you to keep your head nodding, your mind open, and your diet colorful."
- Fawks
