SPARKY – NACHTISCH
2016-11-21“We are all just zombies” , Sparky notes, referring to the inclination of his peers to early retirement. The Cologne rapper from the Sektorwestbüdchengang speaks for all “city kids”, which was more promised than a brown combi, a freshly painted carport and a front yard with accurately cut hedges. His debut album is somewhere between the tough syrup-hop of DJ Screw and current old-rap approaches from Odd Future over Grimes to Ratking. Producer Yourz mixes UK basses, 808 drums, and melancholic melodies into an individual cocktail that transcends helpless fantasy terms such as “Cloudrap”.
