"WALKIN DEAD" is the 5th solo album by Aban, founder of the independent label Sud Est Records, and has for years been a point of reference in the underground rap scene in Italy. Mixing texts without filters to the limit of censorship, rough and impact bars, with different sounds, languages and atmospheres, proposes with his music perspectives out of the classical and conventional shots, far from the dazzling monometric / commercial melody. After almost three years of silence from the release of his last LP "A Ferro e Fuoco", after 15 years and 8 records from the first, he returns with an album as always totally self-produced, independent and far from the circus of the musical industry. Walkin Dead is the most personal and spontaneous record I've ever written, without any self-censorship, without any fear of spitting out everything that is left out of commercial records. The title of the album directs listening to a parallel between the famous TV series and the degraded reality and out of moral laws, which finds life on the streets and bars on the edge of the "Bella Società" and limits the gaze of the "flock" ". The discs are names linked to the Italian underground scene such as Il Turco, Nex Cassel, Pasco, Gast, Bull Brigade. The sounds range from classic, hardcore rap, jazz, punk Oi, giving life to the musical structure that allowed him to produce this sound portrait of the reality in which we live, entrusting the production of most of the tracks to Orlando (producer / graphic desinger of South East Records), and to prominent guests such as "Ice One" (historical Roman producer), "Fuzzy" (historical underground producer of the Quadraro Basement). Aban has always accustomed us, with his way of being and exposing himself, to go beyond the limits imposed by the morals of society, openly declaring his clear antagonist side. |
