More About Florida
After much hanging about, much talk, much bluster and much hype, at last
it’s time for Diplo to drop his debut long player…
Born in Mississippi and now living in North Philly, Diplo was raised in
Florida, his childhood informed by shrimp boats, manatees and the mysteries
of the swamp. These combined in his comic book-addled head into a
supernatural arena for dinosaurs, naked hippy chicks and extreme violence.
With his first album he takes the sounds and experiences (both real and
imaginary) of those years and makes them into something utterly new – a
fried-out, booty-shaking, hip hop psych rock epic that combines his love for
the harsh snap and echoing boom of bass music with a dedicated crate
digger’s ear for a sample and a classical composer’s feel for development,
for tension and release. The results are startling, beautiful and ecstatic;
at times down-home and thrown-together, at others as slick and futuristic as
a spaceship.
features vocals from Vybz Cartel (of “Up 2 Di Time” fame and probably the
hottest, most credible star in Jamaica right now), P.E.A.C.E. (Freestyle
Fellowship) and others.
