Über “Mo’ Mega”, das 2006er-Album von Mr. Lif, konnte man bei “Stylus” unter anderem folgendes lesen:

“Mo’ Mega is also Lif’s first regular record because it is the first to abide by two of the great rap album commandments: Thou shalt record at least one song about fucking (“Long Distance”); and, Thou shalt record at least one song of saccharine devotion to family (“For You”). But because Lif is both a ghetto philosopher and a Knight of the Round Table (self described), both tracks come with a twist. “For You” is as earnest as Will Smith’s “Just the Two of Us,” but the central conceit—Lif explaining to his child he hasn’t yet fathered—neatly opens the song to Lif’s ever-present apprehension and anger about the state of the world.”

Einen Mix von Mr. Lif persönlich gibt’s exakt hier:

General Elektriks is the brainchild of RV Salters. A French national and keen vintage keyboard player (check the RV Music section for records he’s played on), he initiated GE just before moving to San Francisco. Using a computer, his oldschool keys and a SM-57 mike, he started sowing together loops, Funky keyboard licks, ethereal melodies and digital tweaking. GE became a musical journal that followed RV through his move to Seattle, then back down to the Bay Area, Berkeley, where he currently resides. There, he started laying keys down for the Quannum crew. Quannum’s own Lateef The Truth Speaker and Chief Xcel returned the favor by guesting on GE. Consisting of 12 songs from the journal, ‘Cliquety Kliqk’ was first released in France by Bleu Electric, then picked up by Compost for Europe and by Quannum for the US.

Aesthetically, GE is a project that refuses to land in a particular bin at the record store. A mix of vintage sounds, hip hop beats, noir riffs, dreamy vocals, cinematic arrangements and digital twinkle, ‘Cliquety Kliqk’ embraces all of RV’s musical addictions. Radically new yet strangely familiar, General Elektriks is like a friend that you meet for the first time but feel like you’ve known all your life. (Quelle: www.general-elektriks.com)
