Gin is a soulful hip hop hippy Goddess.

If people were rapping at Woodstock 1969, it would have sounded like this.

It just flows like honey. Organic. Often rap sounds like rap. Rock sounds like rock. This just sounds like music, art, expression …

Lyrically Gin is refreshingly positive, thoughtful and articulate also bringing in guest MC’s to add the diversity that takes this EP to the next level. I’ve had these tracks on loop now and they really take me to a place that very little hip hop does, it’s a place called hip-hop-folk land.

no.

This EP is everything I dreamed it would be and more.

Written and recorded in Cape Town the listener get’s a taste of live in the worlds most beautiful city. It’s diverse people, it’s endless summers, it’s early mornings, it’s late nights and most definitely it’s chilled vibes.

Six years ago I left Cape Town to become a rock-star in London. All in all it’s been amazing. I’ve toured the country, written and released some music I’m proud of and made great friends; but sitting alone in this Starbucks counting the minutes before I hand out flyers in the cold for money makes me wonder….maybe I should head home and live on the beach for the next 50 years. Warning to all you South African’s living abroad: THIS ALBUM WILL MAKE YOU HOMESICK.

In the world of the beach bum his/her one and only worry is, ‘what’s the surf looking like today’. If you want to know or at least get close to knowing what that feels like download the Chilled Vibes EP right now. It full of joy, melancholy and reality.

Downloading this EP is an opportunity to experience music powered by love and nothing else.

Big respect to Chilled Vibes for this one. Definitely my album of the week.

So, I gave Dave-Cam my Cape-Tape to pump at his number 10 house partaaays. Also I managed to have a chat to his PA.
Sparks.were.flying. Just saying.

She loves me like a hurricane
And I’m just tree
Baby slow it down
Please you know you’re smothering C
The storm is intense,
My thunderous retreat
Lit by the lightning
Between she and he
Bit by bit frighting
The future I see
*tick tock tick tock
Time seized to be
Like drops in the sea
No longer separate entities
I’m a part of you
And you’re a part of me

Breaking me apart, Lego block at a time
To build me up again, correct to your design
A version of C, me, that doesn’t exist
A few blocks hidden under the bed, still you insist
I’m everything I was before we met, before this
You’re everything thing I’m not and everything I miss
Truth be told I’m over you now I only wish
To vibe alone in my studio, bliss

‘I Don’t Wanna Know’ was written in October 2011, heart broken. Chicks, hey.  I was Cooking with a particularly eclectic mix of ingredients for this one, it’s totes the single of the three.

…and the climax….

Back in 2010 I watched the Mike Mills movie ‘Thumbsucker’ based on a novel, with the same name, by Walter Kirn. It was a story I could connect with. A kid lost in a world miss-understanding him. I was moved by the story to write this song.

Walter Kirn got hold of the track today and said ‘Chris, I more than liked it. It’s growing on me with every listen. What flattery to inspire another artist. You made my day.’
Hearing this from the person who inspired the song in the first place is an honour beyond anything I’ve experienced in my life so far. He’s sent it on to Mike Mills… I wait eagerly for a response!

All in all I’m stoked with the EP. It’s definitely my most personally suited release so far, incredibly self-indulgent but hey, that’s art. It makes me happy!

It’s been a BIG year for me. Up and Down.

Recap:

The first 3 months of this year I spent in South Africa working with some of the best MC’s in the country; Grand Alliance, Illverse and Youngsta. Everyday spent with these artists was a masterclass in creativity, lyricism and humanity. I’d like to give a big shout out to all you dudes. Big up to Akil the MC’s manager Jamal Drew and Donnel Smokes for the beats. We recorded a mixtape together under the name of Mother City Mic Controllers which is set for release at some stage in 2012. Stay tuned…

Following my time in South Africa I moved to Devon, just near Plymouth, to work with a band called The Days. On my travels with The Days I had a chance to gig with Devonian legend Cosmo Jarvis, hang out with the Mc Fly boys, live with horses on a ranch and become friends with tattooed northern drummer and rapper/singer Lewi Love.
An extra big thank you goes out to very sexy ladies Mary and Sandra Grose who took me in as if I was their own

After my time in Devon was up I headed back to London to relaunch the Cape project harder than ever….this brings us to now…

The Christmas Single!
