Culture Clan & YORK - Lyrical Attack, Potpourri
Culture Clan & YORK
Lyrical Attack
Album / Digital
Hip Hop & Soul
YORK has always produced music while travelling to South Africa. The success of the first album „Africa“ and the founding of Culture Clan by YORK speaks for itself: A No.1 hit in South Africa and 2 awards won (Metro FM Music Award „Best RnB album“ & a Channel O Video Award). Now the 2nd CD „Lyrical Attack“ by Culture Clan is released and this time with more vocalists from South Africa. Besides the already known lead voices of Zonke Dikana (Voc), Mzo Mzoxolo (Rap) & Amandla Bangeni (Rap) now Lulu Dikana (Voc), Edo Magala (Rap), Ndox Migogo (Voc/Rap) & Mthunzi Fesi (Ragga) are added. This CD is a mix of Hip Hop & Soul, recorded with the wonderful Culture Clan Band. They are all orchestrally supported by high-calibre wind and string players (some of them members of the Lower Saxony Radio Orchestra and the Hanover State Opera) from Germany! With more than 20 musicians involved, „Lyrical Attack“ is „fatter“ than the first CD and we hope to build on the success of the first CD!
