FOKꓘOP.
UNPLUGGD

After releasing an EP (and recording an album) with electronic punk-rap project FOꓘKOP.EЯA, rapper Herb Cells and pianist Martin Daniel present the acoustic version, somewhere between jazz and baroque lyricism, alongside Manolo Cabras on double bass and Ben Tequi on drums.

They call it FOꓘKOP.UNPLUGGD.

A Brussels’ contribution to the jazz-rap & spoken word legacy and homage to its pioneers such as: The Last Poets, Gil Scott-Heron, Daddy-O, Stetsasonic, Steve Coleman & Five Elements, B. Marsalis & Buckshot LeFonque, GURU’s Jazzmatazz, US3, Dream Warriors, G-Clef & Ghetto Philharmonic, Greg Osby’s 3-D Lifestyles, Digable Planets, The Roots, Steve Lehman & Sélébéyone, Truffaz & Nya, Soweto Kinch, Greetings From Mercury ... and many more.

FOꓘKOP.UNPLUGGD released its debut album, The Imposter Acoustic, marking the landmark 400th release on Igloo Records (IGL400) on 12" vinyl. The release was celebrated with a performance at the Brussels Jazz Weekend.

Between baroque lyricism and jazz, adding slam poetry and rap.

FOꓘKOP.UNPLUGGD is the acoustic alter ego of FOꓘKOP.EЯA.
