New Music Stan Smith's new hip-hop Movement
Posted by Carlton Hargro on Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 3:08 PM
Smith, a New York native signed to Tokyo Dawn Records who snagged a 12-inch version of “Rapper’s Delight” when it was released in 1979, is being billed as “the oldest new jack to the longest running fad.”
But while this cat is not a fresh-faced youngster, the music on his debut album The Get Up Movement — created with the direction of Atlanta-based production wizard Daz-I-Kue and the German duo Soulparlor, among others — is truly funky fresh, mixing old-school MCing with broken beat, soul, bass and more.
Trust me: This dude is definitely one to watch in 2012. Take a listen for yourself: The Get Up Movement.
