This week we’ll be covering all the neosoul/jazzy hiphop stuff coming out mostly from the UK and of course the US (Stones Throw!) It’s def going to be the sound of this summer and might we say flutes are making a comeback!.

Let’s start with a fabulous album on Ubiquity by 26 years old Eric Lau from London. Apparently an Hong Kong native who’ve come to London to study, Lau climbed the ladders pretty fast and has produced for well known Stones Throw artists like Dudley Perkins, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Guilty Simpson and Lupe Fiasco so I’m sure you know which “territory” we’re talking about.

Soulful vocals, deep jazzy chords, blunted guitar solos and gentle headbopping movement abound in this one combined with the vocal talent of up and coming UK Vocalists like Rahel and Tawiah makes this debut for the humble Chinese producer a well received hit.
