“One Size Fits All” proves AzraelRapsGood x The Dirty Sample might be weird, but they think you normal people are even weirder. Azrael’s anti fake it to make it sentiment is delivered over a chill, moody beat from The Dirty Sample, his plodding boom bap drums combined with piano, violin and bass, plus this one repeating inquisitive Scooby Doo-like “huh?” sample that is way too infectious. Rather than go with the flow, he just says no to the pre-packaged, commodified way our lives (and music) are structured nowadays. “I’ve never blended in with the mix”, raps Azrael as he demonstrates his desire for individuality.

Of course, in all his inventiveness, the genius with a feeling for music-history does not forget where the roots of his harvested fruits lie and also dignifies his musical role-models with five older tracks, like the Meters-cover Clap Clap and the tribute to Raphael Saadiq.On second single “One Size Fits All”, AzraelRapsGood invokes the hip hop mantra most associated with Too Short: get in where you fit in. On Lumberjack Soul, Miles Bonny light-handedly carpenters a wooden hut from a broad foundation of experimental and smooth beats coming from the connection U.S.-Cologne (ranging from DJ Day over Suff Daddy to Hulk Hodn) and tops it all instrumentally and vocally with a Soul-roof made by Bonny. The lable »slush« would already do wrong to his voice, which even in lovesongs like Nothing but you sounds more like bonfire than like white leather-couch. Still, with the attitude of a lumberjack and a pipe, Bonny displays too much Hillbilly-ruffness to pose for a video with an oiled chest. Within his potpourri of modern Soul, there are still a few names which keep floating to the surface, like R’n†˜B’s charts-model D’Angelo. Instead of stooping to something ridiculous, Bonny freestyles effortlessly with trumpets and vocal chords between everything from Soul, Funk, Jazz, Latin and whatever else inspires him. Having grown up with a genuine Love for Jazz, the wind player does not, however, as a »White Dude«, try to line up with the tradition of a Miles David.

Miles Bonny, son of a trumpeter, was hardly to withstand his predestined fate and took it into is (conceivable tiny) hands in the shape of an instrument by the age of two. There are only very few musicians who deserve to be certified with the attribute »whole-heartedly«. To play the media you will need to update your browser to a recent version.
