Sampling his own instrument playing gives the cd
the appeal that most producers in hip-hop miss out
on. Along with that his writing and rap skills
show the needed change that many feel is necessary in
todays Hip-Hop.LYRIC has merged her Gospel roots and R & B backround
together with the production skills of Preacha and takes her first
entry into the rhyming world on the track "Daze of Thunda". They
call her "Hookz and Lookz!"LOGIC was the first to join PREACHA on this project. He
rhymes in a raspy "Tone Loc'ish" style that gives him
his own special trademark bringing back that old school
feeling Hip-Hop used to represent.
Influences: Nu Era draws its influence from the earliest members of Hip-Hop in its most explorative days. They also acknowledge any Artist or group who have generally paved the way to new forms of originality in music by being aggressively commited to uniqueness. This is what they feel is missing in todays music. They pick up heavy inspiration from the likes of Digable Planets, Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Bilal, Common, Jaco Pastorius, Weather Report, Crissette Michelle, Sly and the Family Stone, Nina Simone, Feist, Jeff Buckley, Prince, Jimi Hendrix and many more.
Sounds Like: New original Funky Hip-Hop w/an R and B flavor appeal!
