KZYBOOST "Callin U" JAPAN G-FUNK VOCODER BOOGIE MODERN FUNK LP
First introduced via his collaborative LP with Kay Bee, “Callin’U” is the first solo effort from producer and talkboxer KzyBoost. Hailing from Osaka, Japan, KzyBoost brings forth a diverse and groove-heavy project which employs the uptempo, synth-drenched sensibilities of modern funk, melding it with NuSoul and hip hop, creating varied soundscapes that can inspire movement on the dance floor or head nods on a dreamy late night cruise. Those steeped in a steady diet of Dilla, Madlib, and their contemporaries will no doubt find “Callin’U” to be a gateway drug into the genre.
Kzyboost’s talkbox adds an essential vocal layer to many of the tracks, such as “PlayAnotherSlowJam,” with its distinctive g-funk bounce, or his deft P-Funk cover of “One Nation.” In addition, he is joined by vocalists on songs such as “Boogie Time” & “Callin’U” (feat. FWN) which help to make the LP a truly complete project.
