About
After releasing an EP and recording an upcoming album with FOꓘKOP.EЯA—an electronic punk-rap project and 2023 Concours Circuit finalist—rapper Herb Cells and pianist Martin Daniel have created an acoustic version. Blending jazz with baroque lyricism, they are joined by the excellent Ben Tequi on drums and the brilliant Manolo Cabras on double bass. They have titled the project ‘FOKꓘOP. UNPLUGGD’.
FOKꓘOP. UNPLUGGD contributes to the avant-garde legacy of jazz-rap and spoken word.
The project honors the pioneers of the genre, drawing inspiration from a non-exhaustive list of legends such as The Last Poets, Gil Scott-Heron, Guru’s Jazzmatazz, Digable Planets, The Roots, and Belgium’s own Jeroen Van Herzeele’s Greetings From Mercury.
FOKꓘOP. UNPLUGGD will release its debut album this summer on Igloo Records (featuring Nic Thys on double bass). The 12” vinyl will be available as early as May 23rd for their concert at Lotto BJW (Place de la Bourse)!
Fun fact: The Imposter Acoustic is officially the 400th album released by the legendary Belgian label Igloo since its inception.
