A friend recently commented that there was no good hiphop music. I did not rebut what he said, because I basically believe that if you can only look back, you will never be able to move forward. And there is no real accounting for taste, I just feel sorry for those who have closed minds.
This post is about a musician who I think is advancing music, I hope every rapper and hiphopper out there buys a harmonica and learns to play it. I hope they go back to the old blues masters who played harmonica, and steal a few riffs from them too. Imagine a group of Hiphop harmonica players like Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson I and II, Big Walter Horton, or Lil Walter, just to name a few.
Please check out Bad News Brown, the worlds first Hiphop Harmonica Player.
