Today I heard this track by hip hop producer/writer/rapper LMNZ called “Long Days”. It features Qwazaar, Mingus, Flexxus, Beatslager, and Empne. There are 3 different languages spoken on that song alone – English, Dutch, and Greek. After hearing it, I was intrigued to hear more.
The song comes from LMNZ‘ latest album called, “Worldwide Rap“. It brings the world together, no matter the style or background, by featuring a whopping 76 international artists who participate in 29 languages. Incredible! And big ups to LMNZ for typing up all the lyrics (in English) for those of us who can’t understand what’s being said in all those languages. :]
Music, tracklist, and more after the jump…
Now that you’ve heard that track, go listen to the other 18 on his website, on bandcamp, or down below. And if you like it (honestly, how could you NOT like it?), support LMNZ by buying the album!
The influences range from jazz, soul, blues and salsa to Arabic and Chinese music and the texts do not follow the cliché image of hip hop displayed in today’s media. The album tells of war, societal ills and problems, but also of love, funny daily situations and inspiration. 76 artists from all over the world, who sing and rap in 29 different languages to realize the vision of a worldwide album.
29 languages:
Japanese, Hebrew, German, Swedish, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Turkish, Russian, Dutch, Italian, French, Wolof, Bosnian, Africaans, Spanish, Norwegian, Korean, Persian, Czech, Arabic, Lugaflow, Sanskrit, English, Singhalese, Greek, Diola, Lingala, Patois, Albanian
