Always wanted to work with Twit One, let me first say. So when he got back to me and sent me a care package of instrumentals, I was over the moon! Heard this particular one and I just started writing straight away and by the end… Jazz Cafe was made. Sit back, relax and listen…
Syf of Talking Knots
THE RELEASE
UK’s finest, rapper Syf of Talking Knots is back to Stereofox for another smooth hip hop piece.
“Jazz Cafe” is together with one of Germany’s most prominent beatmakers Twit One (whom you might know from the trio Syrup and his releases with Wun Two, Suff Daddy, Summers Sons & more). The result of their internet collaboration is built upon warm keys, hazy samples, shimmering guitars, and head-bopping beats, serving as the perfect base for Syf’s mellow bars and relatable lyricism.
“Jazz Cafe” is the perfect intersection of late-night jazz & hip hop, so as Syf says – sit back, relax & listen.
THE ARTIST
Syf of Talking Knots
Syf of Talking Knots is a rapper/vocalist from the UK, North West London. His love for rap started when he was young and used to hear his older brother playing Ice Cube and DMX albums in his room. As he got older he realized that he had a love for poetry and the art of rhyming words; which he then began to do. He entered a couple of poetry competitions and traveled to different places in the UK but in the back of his mind, he knew he wanted to do music. He’s also part of the production band Frances, The Mute.
