Re: Metaphysics
isch bin jetzt zu faul des zu übersetzten, is auch nur ne Album review:
Metaphysics (Zimbabwe) - Digital Garden (Pyramid Music, Germany 2003)
The fact that Zimbabwe born, Germany resident Metaphysics appeared in our last newsletter with an album and again in the current one, doesn't just mean that we're late with this issue. Metaphysics has got rhymes! After the collabo with fellow Zimbabwe veteran Laygwan Sharkie on 'Migrant Souls' and the solo EP 'Elevated Perception', here is again a new work that shows the emcee's multifaceted talent. During the time between releases, Metaphysics also performed to a diverse audience on tour with German/South African pop idol Xavier Naidoo and he was on the Brothers Keepers project with Nigerian/German duo Bantu. If the rhymes on Elevated perception sometimes float on a higher level, in the Digital Garden the mc keeps his two feet on the ground and his lyrics cut to the chase. Sometimes he enters into a sort of visionary story telling mode such as the raw 'a hooker'. The storylines are well developed, you can feel the years put into developing the craft of writing in these tightly chiselled lyrics. The intensity of Met's lyrics are enhanced even more by the music. On the track 'rockin it', the production leans towards South African Kwaito and to good, danceable effect. On the beats side the Digital Garden is kept sober, sometimes the rhymes are accompanied by a simple drum track and a bassline. One tightly put together album. [J4/MM]

Übrigens haben wir hier schon Werbung für die Afrolution vol. 1 gemacht? Die CD ist echt mal der HAMMER! Auf der zugehörigen DVD ist Meta mit nem Interview vertreten, dass während dem Videodreh von Babylon System gemacht wurde. Im Hintergrund sieht man ein paar Söhne rumspringen. Ich glaub es war Ralf, der da TOTAL fertig ausschaut.
