Marquito and Casey Cope are back with Qamp II, a hyper-collaborative hip hop and R&B album created in three days:
“With no prepared content nor knowledge of the invitee list prior to the gathering, the participants shuffle between two well-equipped studios and conjure a project from scratch – the only limit being their capacity to commune.”
You get Isaiah Mostafa and ASTU pouring out their angelic voices. Pandaraps breathlessly flowing. Artist Named You speaking soft and gentle with musical incandescence. AroMa, crushing heart, lungs pumping out passion. Marika Sage, Cash Campain, Nuxia, Big Soda, Tommy Holmes, Alexa Prus, Bianca Brown, Hokage Simon. And Casey Cope and Marquito tying the thread together with neat bars and wide consciousness throughout. All in all, it’s a fitting tribute to the power of community, creativity, and spontaneity—perfection is nothing, the practice is everything.
See AroMa perform alongside Louie Elser, Pallaví aka Fijiana, and Gem at El Rio this Sunday.
