I told you to trust me, because in the meantime I'll be here....
Paul White is undoubtedly one of the hardest working producers to grace God’s green earth; this man’s work ethic is incredible. He first came to my attention with his debut LP The Strange Dreams of Paul White. The mainly instrumental album is like a vortex into the producers musical mind; psychedelic, trippy, sample heavy hip-hop at its finest. Paul White is the UK’s answer to Madlib, take one listen to his debut and you’ll know what I mean. If you don’t believe me just click this link where you can get the whole album for free from forward thinking label One Handed Music.
Soon after his debut came Sounds From the Skylight named after his London attic studio The Skylight. Although Sounds From the Skylight didn’t venture too far from the sound he mastered on his debut it saw a slightly more experimental production style being developed. This set him up nicely to take us on the acid laced journey of his third LP Paul White and the Purple Brain. Paul White was given access to the back catalogue of cult Swedish psyche guitarist S.T Mikael and he jumped at the chance. Using his MPC mastery he delved further into the trippy hip hop unknown with incredible results.
Now he is back with his fourth album in two years Rapping with Paul White. Hip-Hop has always been his first love and this album has given him a chance to collaborate with some of his favourite MC’s including Danny Brown, Homeboy Sandman, Tranqill, Jehst and Guilty Simpson. The first single to be lifted from the LP is Trust featuring Guilty Simpson. Veteran rapper Guilty Simpson lays down his impeccable Detroit slang over a dark distorted horn laden beat provided by White. Not content with giving away his debut LP for free the good people at One Handed Music are giving away three tracks from Rapping with Paul White for free as well. Just head over to Paul White Music where you can find the link to download the three tracks or pre-order the album. I've ordered my copy and I highly recommend you do the same!
