Chill Bump are a hip-hop duo from France. Producer Bankal cooks up some delicious beats, using a variety of original instrumentation and some clever samples as his ingredients, while MC Miscellaneous spits his spitfire lines over them. His rhymes run the gamut from serious and political, to humorous and laid-back.
Coming from scratch and battle rap backgrounds, these guys are well rooted in the elements of hip-hop. Their music provides an interesting case study in the international reach of hip-hop. Miscellaneous raps in English for Chill Bump, and they have clearly drawn influences from American rap legends. They often mention growing up listening to rap, so for them it has been a life long love affair. As I said, they cover a wide variety of themes in their songs, themes that are consistent for pretty much any upbringing. It seems that effective expression can take whatever form you need it to, regardless of nationality or language.
Chill out and Bump...Chill Bump:
Download 'Five Minute Breather' from their Hidden Strings EP here, and be sure to grab the rest of their releases on their Bandcamp as well. They had a busy 2012 so I'm excited to see what they've got in store for this year.
