Chengdu Rapper Kafe Hu Releases His Latest Album "The Guy"
Chengdu Rapper Kafe Hu Releases His Latest Album "The Guy"
《The Guy》kafe hu:这家伙不止有性感的嗓音
 当我第一次知道kafe hu这个人的时候大约是在三年前，我被他的《小姐你真可怜》所惊艳，就一直把那首歌存在自己的ipod里面。今年，这位来自成都的说唱歌手在网络上发布了自己的新专辑《The Guy》。这是一张小巧的免费专辑，音乐总时间长度只有二十四分钟，但却丝毫不能影响到它的精彩。
一直以来，kafe hu在中国的说唱圈子里是一个特别的存在——因为他低沉沙哑又不失性感的嗓音，因为他多变多彩自成一派的flow，还有一直以来他歌曲中所传达的思辨和情感，以及丰富的内心世界。《The Guy》依然如此，正如kafe hu在专辑intro里所说的“感觉像婴儿一样简单，文字像猫一样灵敏，灵感像公路一样可以无限延伸”，专辑的封面是很简单的红底黑字和他自己的。93年出生的同样来自成都的新锐producer陈韬羽Eddie包办了专辑中主要曲目的制作，两人此前已经进行了多次无间的合作。他别出心裁的采样和对电声元素，完美的契合了kafe hu的嗓音。第一首曲目《KAFE.HU LIFE》是一首自我表白式的作品，kafe hu在这首歌里用一句“我拥有笔所以自己写专辑，我拥有呼吸所以声音振动了空气，我拥有麦克风在人潮汹涌中散布各种信息我有梦双脚离地高空飞行”表达了自己对音乐理想的坚持，虽然在非常舒缓的伴奏的衬托之下却仍然掷地有声。《Everybody Jump》是一首简短急促的电子舞曲风作品，不同于他往常的温柔声调，向我们展示了kafe hu轻松游走于各种曲风之间的实力。《人》的曲风回归了kafe hu最擅长的爵士说唱，Eddie的伴奏也采用了爵士乐和人声的采样。在轻快的节奏下，他用充满磁性的声音娓娓道来，讲诉当代人们都市生活的际遇。《浮游生物》中kafe hu将自己比作浮游生物，诉说了自己浮游于人生中的所念所想，这首歌的基调非常梦幻，让人仿佛就置身于海水中，穿插的钢琴声犹如溅起的浪花，柔软的女声是海中的洋流。《戏子》中，两个成都人把玩着成都人的慵懒和自在，kafe hu难得的玩起了俏皮，成都味十足。《失眠患者》和《所希望和实际上》由上海的Wino Willy制作。《失眠患者》迷幻气息十足，《所希望和实际上》的伴奏拥有非常精彩的采样，kafe hu在这首歌里面表达了对理想和现实之差的无奈。《The Guy》是专辑的最后一首歌，依然由Eddie制作，作为一首总结性的歌曲，kafe hu狠狠的剖析了自我，但这种剖析却是对那些沉醉在自己幻梦中的“fake rapper”们的有力一击。
不得不说，《The Guy》这张专辑是我今年以来听到的最好的华语说唱。虽然来自Underground，却丝毫不失精良，无论是伴奏还是后期，反而处处显露出考究，这也表现出了kafe hu和他的朋友们对于音乐品质的不懈追求。这种追求使得他的才华得以很好地展现，而不会被埋没于平庸。我很高兴华语说唱领域有很多kafe hu这样的新锐，他们没有把时间花费在拿样和装范儿上，而是投身于理想。这让我们看到希望。
