Brazil based Hip Hop artist Lou Piensa will start the new year with a brand New Album entitled The World Is Me. A short and diverse art piece showcasing Lou’s international input and outlook on Hip Hop culture. Delivered in no less than five languages, the music slaloms seamlessly through classic scratch filled boom-bap flows, neo-soul bossa voicings and psychedelic experimental phrasings. Lou’s lyrical gymnastics are displayed on the intro track Jussatruth where he reminds us of why he is a tireless veteran MC. On Writer’s Block Party, alongside renowned Brazilian MC Kamau and his Nomadic Massive bandmate Waahli, he shares his struggle with inspiration in the context of the strange time we are living in. P.O.N. tells the story of his time spent in Canada and his discovery of Hip Hop culture as a common ground and unique space to express his unique global experience. French laced Rose des Vents slows and smooths things down with the soothing vocals of Rio de Janeiro’s Luciane Dom as Lou explores the feeling of love and appreciation. Finally Ahi Nama breaks off into a new galaxy with abstract yet driving textures that support Lou’s unexpected melodic delivery and cinematographic lyrics about the importance of being in the moment. On top of Lou’s own beat concoctions, the Album includes additional production by Brazilians beatmakers Kamau and DJ RM as well as scratches from Dj Dablyo and versatile instrumentation and co-production from Sao-Paulo multiinstrumentalist Thiago Duar.
