BROWN
Brown is the most recent effort to re-unite two brothers who have already marked Quebec’s hip-hop with their personal stamp - Snail Kid (Dead Obies) and Jam (K6A, Jam and P-Dox, Alaclair Ensemble) - to their Jamaican father Robin Kerr (Uprising). At the time of language controversies and debates around Quebec’s identity and culture, Brown offers us the fruit of a genealogical tree with a crossbred core celebrating the notions of hybrid and mixed through a dozen pieces of music The old to the new guard; Roots-reggae at the dancehall; The rap of the golden age to that of the new school. Reconciling easily the opposite poles against a background of noisy party, Brown reveals itself as the best kept secret of a scene in full effervescence.
