About this ItemThe item format is a vinylThis specific sale is a new release, shipped direct from the manufacturerThe Artist Name is NAThe Title is Rise N ShineCondition NewOther CommentsGolden age hip-hop by a multi-talented Spanish beatmaker, a French singer and three US MCs. The multi-talented Alex Rocks is back with his debut album Rise N Shine! After his 7" "Get Em Up" featuring Replife, the Madrid DJ, musician and beatsmith hooked up with French singer Jessica Fitoussi and US based rappers Sleep Sinatra, Junclassic, and Jack Jones. He carefully selected the tracks he felt would sit well with each artist, and they did not disappoint. From the Pharcyde-evoking title track to the raw soul on "Moonlight Creedence", the rugged vibe of "My Time" and the fiery "All In Your Mind" - the heart-made beats are the perfect backdrop for the socially conscious and intelligent lyrics provided by his collaborators. Alejandro Melero grew up in Madrid in the eighties, when the Spanish capital was living a cultural revolution, still crawling out of the dark hole that had been the 40 years of fascist dictator. Apart from jazz, flamenco, rock and pop, at the end of the decade and the start of the next, the radio started playing rap and hip-hop coming from across the pond. At the time, Spain was quite unfamiliar with hip-hop culture, but there were a few artists emulating their American cousins' music and style, and for the fans, tape trading was an excellent way to share and discover the music of Young MC, Run D.M.C., Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Gang Starr, Leaders of the New School and the like. The way they made music made a lasting impression on young Alex. Throughout the nineties, he kept digging, stumbling upon and investigating new and different sounds. He built up a substantial record collection and got in contact with dozens of other vinyl junkies just like him. It would, many years later, inspire him to start Spain Diggin': a series of short videos featuring Spanish record
