  • The Heavy 7"

    MP05

    Artist: Yea Big & Kid Static

    Label: Metal Postcard Records

    Yea Big (aka Stefen Robinson) and Kid Static (Kid Static) met in late 2005 when after Stefen's search for a vocalist to work with only led him to getting trashed on Chicago's biggest hip hop community message board.

    On the Heavy 7 the duo take the hip hop glitch sound into uncharted waters. Imagine the delivery of Dangermouse with the attitude of Dr Octagon combined with the beats of a producer that loves the Chicago blues as much the experiments of the TigerBeat crew and the down dirty sounds of Baltimore.

    This is what all hip hop will sound like in 2010. Spank Rock Watch Out !!


    Robinson's work has attracted comparisons to laptronica artists like Prefuse 73 and Four Tet, but he says he's equally influenced by the hectic momentum and percussive rhythms of bluegrass. "I really want my stuff to be accepted as pop music," he says. "The whole thing is to make a pop record based out of experimental ideals."

    Like a cross between Napoleon Dynamite and Trey Anastasio, the prolific and talented experimental electronica artist Stefen Robinson ..utilizes rapid-fire house beats, hip-hop melodies, buzzing walls of ambient sounds, I don’t think I could ever get bored listening to him...Kynd Music
