Who the fuck are Rizzle Kicks?

Who the fuck are Rizzle Kicks?

The latest gem and its off the hook.
Lets start from the beginning... Rizzle Kicks are two mates who after reuniting in Brighton started this amazing project. Rizzle got Sylvester to colaborate on some stuff he was working on and BAM! We have a connection, so this is the long story short, Rizzle Kicks.
I personally first came across them during my A&R course, when someone introduced them as the best unsigned act, this was a few months back and now these cheeky duo is signed and making good music better. Their style is quirky with most of their videos resembling home made stuff with a spark of creativity. They are funny and playful in their videos and to date have shown that there is always space for new -amazing- music.

Their first tunes are samples of tracks by established acts with the Rizzle Kicks twist i.e. their raping style closest to that flow of Jurassic 5 and their sweet melodic voice which in my ears sounds weirdly enough like Jason Mraz (I hate saying this because I am not a fan of mass produced pop but I am not going to lie Mraz is not that bad after all) and well for RK its not such a bad compliment because what makes them -Oh so splendid!- is their ability to create a listenable fusion of pop and hip-hop making it truly one of the best new up and coming acts out there!

Here are some videos of their talent so corroborate that in deed they did sound a bit like Jurassic5...

Down With The Trumpets with epic trumpets that must be some sort of hollar to Delinquent Habits - Here Comes The Horns

So do we agree? Rizzle Kicks are some hot shit!
Ahh and playing the Underage Festival 5th August (London)!
