The Rush by Rootwords
Rootwords' debut album THE RUSH was released in 2014 in Switzerland on the 28th of March and in France on the 8th of April. This project reveals a rich urban sound with modern influences of hip-hop, soul and reggae. In this album, Rootwords firmly grasps the sounds he blends by reflecting a world that is in constant expansion, where there are no boarders, and where people interlock. On the second song of the album, "Keep On", he journeys to a land of electric hip-hop, where furious guitars and explicit rhymes blend perfectly. Right after, with the calmness of "Mwansa" or the funky rhythm of "Cold Crush", we submerge into a groovier universe, pleasuring the admirers of the first years of the movement. We then take a sharp turn south with "Freedom Of Speech", between reggae and hip-hop, embellished by the warm Jamaican voice of Denham Smith in the chorus: the fans of this genre will not be disappointed.
