It is, of course, a purely rhetorical question because the album deals with the re-politicising black music with protagonists like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Me´shell Ndegeocello and Anthony Hamilton. A project like ISWHAT?! fits perfectly into the picture because also the rapper Napoleon Maddox firmly takes everyday life into perspective with highly differentiated stories of poverty, drugs, violence and racism. Maddox’s raps remind one of the radical The Last Poets, but ISWHAT?!’s jazzy-groovy music fortunately revives a hip hop tradition that had long seemed deserted.
ISWHAT?! tightly links to where A Tribe Called Quest and The Roots once dug their beats. Cochema Castelum’s saxophone improvisations create ample nervousness and Hamid Drake is one of the best drummers in the world.
is what? really understands to perform perfect with the audiance and the concert developed to the heidelberg circus so all of that it was an really nice concert. after the concert the galactic party started where i could make some visuls. unfortunately the party was not well visited so that i could finish my performance at 3 o’ clock. this wasnt that bad cause i played on friday till 6 o’clock so that i was looking forward to fall into my bed.
