REJJIE SNOW

Support: Master Peace

Rejjie Snow is not for purists: his concept of rap regularly evaporates and takes on a life of its own in psychedelic spheres, his sound has been expanding into jazz and soul, electronica and R&B for a good ten years. Too often on the road in completely different missions - as a painter, a model, a genuine all-round artist, a self-declared nature and tree lover, not to mention a daddy - at least for the taste of some fans, the Irish rap visionary is now concentrating on music again: this week, Rejjie announced two exclusive German concerts in Hamburg and Berlin this fall.

Although his unmistakable flow places him at least roughly on the global rap and hip-hop map, Rejjie Snow ("Egyptian Luvr", "23") actually looks at things in a much more open and agile way. An author like Charles Bukowski is just as much an influence as Eighties icon George Michael, he also designs clothes, regularly shares new paintings on social media and recently presented a few Louis Vuitton looks on the catwalk at Pharrell's request ...

And then there was soccer: Alexander Anyaegbunam from the Drumcondra district of Dublin also looked set for a stellar career on the pitch, until he decided to pursue music a few years ago. As a child, he was equally fascinated by rhymes and the round leather, and when he came to the south of the USA on a soccer scholarship at the age of 17 (first to Florida, then a little later to Georgia), he made the decision for music when he released his first mixtape "Rejovich". Streamed millions of times, Rejjie only released his official debut album "Dear Annie" (2018) five years later, after he had already managed to win over a Lily Rose Depp for the video of "All Around The World" in 2015.

His penchant for alt-jazz instrumentals suggested comparisons to MF Doom. His vocal range also brought him comparisons with Earl Sweatshirt or Tyler, the Creator. However, the fact that he doesn't just belong in the corner of Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Loyle Carner and Action Bronson was proven not least by his appearance as Madonna's opening act. He has also explored other genres, such as his collaborations with pop visionaries like Clairo, King Krule and L'Impératrice. When you also consider that he experimented intensively with magic mushrooms for his second album "Baw Baw Black Sheep", released in 2021, it's not surprising that he described its predecessor as the perfect soundtrack to the film "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971).

In 2024, Rejjie Snow is also going his own way - always bringing his vision and vibe into play wherever his suitcases happen to land. While his flow is combined with fantasy elements and Technicolor beats to create pure trips, these suitcases will finally glide through German airports again in late fall when he makes stops in Hamburg and Berlin.
