Closer
Big Dada
HIP HOP
After being nominated for UK music's top honour, the Mercury Prize for his last album 'Upwards' (which featured the TRIPLE J hit "Wait A Minute") TY returns with the cross Atlantic hip hop - soul album of 2006!
On 'Closer' he has reached a career pinnacle, a record packed with sharp hooks, clever wordplay, a humorous, funky & thoughtful stroll through the mind of the man & the life he leads.
Straight up Hip Hop this ain't: along with his canny knack for a chorus, TY throws in P-FUNK basslines, Afro-beat drums & vocals, Two-Step shuffles and EARTH WIND & FIRE horn stabs.
TY has spent the time since the release of 'Upwards' building a formidable live rep and has toured all over the world. In particular, his time in the USA has allowed him to build such a reputation that he could call in guest slots from DE LA SOUL, SPEECH of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, BAHAMADIA, RICH MEDINA and ZION I. Throw in vocal contributions from
'Closer' is already getting incredible press here and in the UK:
SCENE MAGAZINE (QLD) "UK hip hop album of the year, seriously.. this should find itself in the top 10 hip hop albums of 2006."... KNOWLEDGE "An album so fresh, so hook-laden and addictive that only an Act of God could prevent it from becoming a massive success."... ONE WEEK TO LIVE "A near-perfect culmination of all Ty's efforts to date... a soulful maelstrom of musicality which could well garner him the coveted Mercury Music Prize next year... Next generation hip hop du jour."... NME "Closer takes everything that made [Ty] good and makes it great... this is Britrap at its best. This time let's hope it gets its due. 8/10"
