Working closely with Producer Liam Beats and Guitarist and Saxophonist Jordan Arts, The Universal Music Group South Africa signee pushes the envelope of his psychedelic soundscape curating and creating a delicate trade for what can only be described as “Marabi Club Music” a fusion of traditional African jazz and funk, with a psychedelic twist fitting for premium jazz bars of Marabi’s stature.
Speaking on the inspiration and creative process behind “Nowhere” Linkman shares:
“I just love the way bass sounds on a song, especially if it’s an actual bass guitar and it’s bass heavy. Going against the digital mode arch of sampling we replayed every single instrument from “Nights Over Egypt” by legendary 80s funk band The Jones Girls giving our sample direction a whole new feel. I was inspired to make music that can be played live because I feel like it’s important to have people consume your music in a different way.
The more rooted in my knowledge of self I became the more confident and inspired I was to show people that there is a multifaceted facet aspect to my artistry outside of what I started to be known for, the melodic rapper. “Nowhere” reflects my evolution as a musician and the direction I wanted to take in terms of Dynamics and lyricism simply put is one of a mature “life of the party” groove.”
