ASM’s ‘Platypus Funk’ can easily be heard at Bandcamp so I won’t waste your time with too many words – go make your own opinion.

What I will say though is that this is some of the funkiest, most soulful, head-nodding Hip Hop that my ears have experienced in the last few months – and I’ve listened to this a lot. If you’re a fan of Jurassic 5, Ugly Duckling and People Under The Stairs – those type of cats, then you’ll love this positive rap music. Lyricists Green-T and FP are backed by the production of Fade and graced the presence of DJ Vadim, Kidkanevil, Bonobo, Sadat X and others over the 14 tracks.

‘Platypus Funk’ is available now on First Word records. ASM stands for A State of Mind – make this yours.
