L.A. hip-hop producer and frequent collaborator with Flying Lotus as Flyamsam releases a follow-up to his debut album Rap Beats on Kode9's previously dubstep only label Hyperdub. It's no secret Kode9's been smitten with the bass-heavy hip-hop sound for a while now, working with Flying Lotus on a RinseFM set and big-upping Rustie at every opportunity. With Samiyam, Kode9 is showcasing one of the emerging stars of the increasingly vibrant L.A. hop-hop scene. Samiyam's aesthetic is not much different than frequent collaborator Flying Lotus's early work, but Samiyam is more consistently upbeat and less moody. Samiyam goes a bit more experimental with "Cheesecake Backslap", but ends compromising some of the best parts of the track. He's more comfortable on tracks like "Moon Shoes", where he's perfected the sound of L.A.-based instrumental hip-hop, where the production is so interesting an MC would only hinder the track. Be on the lookout for more from this talent.
