EARLY INSTRUMENTALS (BLUE VINYL)

HAVING TOURED THE WORLD WITH MCZO AND BEEN AT THE HELM OF HIS OWN STUDIO PAMOJA RECORDS SINCE HE WAS JUST 1$, INFLUENnAL SINGELI PRODUCER DUKE, NOW 25, IS ONE OF TANZANIA'S BUSIEST CLUB ALCHEMISTS. ON HIS ACCLAIMED SOLO DEBUT "mNGIZAJI HEWA" WE WERE INTRODUCED TO HIS mIOS'lNCRAnc "HIP-HOP SINGELI" SOUND, A SLOWER COUSIN TO THE DAR ES SALAAM-ROOTED HARD 'N FAST CLUB TEMPLATE THAT TAKES AS MUCH SPECIAL SAUCE FROM BUSTA RH'iMES AND EMINEM AS IT DOES THE 200BPM CLATTER OF GENRE VETERANS JA'l MITTA AND SISSO.
ON SEPTEMBER'S "SOUNDS OF PAMOJA", WE WERE TREATED TO A CLOSER LOOK INTO DUKE'S STUDIO, AND SPECffICALL'l AT HIS WORK WITH THE CIT'l'S BEST 'IOUNG MCS LIKE DOGO Kmo, PIRATO MC AND MC KUKE. "EARLY INSTRUMENTALS" ALLOWS US TO WITNESS THE DEPTH OF DUKE'S EVOLUnON, WITH A SELECnON OF UNEARTHED GENRE MELnNG SINGELI MUTAnONS LAID COMPLETELY BARE WITHOUT VOCALS.
