Details:
Lafa Taylor A world traveler based in Eugene, Oregon, is an up and coming Northwestern emcee/producer. Producing all his own music on his own label, Make Music, he creates a complex sound with intelligent lyrics. Choosing to rhyme about current issues in a positive and constructive way, his music carries a message of inspiration for all walks of life.
...Although music has always been an important part of Lafa''s life, recording started six years ago. Making beats on a ghetto sampler and a four track from his mom, Lafa and his high school friends started rhyming and recording tracks in Lafa''s bedroom. Playing at schools and small local shows, something began to emerge. Soon Lafa began to dedicate his time to creating his own sound, and becoming more proficient with his beat making which cultivated into his current music.
Lafa''s music has been compared to Spearhead, Pigeon John, Mos Def, Barrington Levy and KRS One to name a few. His varied musical style is described as hip hop beats mixed with reggae, electronica and funk, and his verbal style ranges from spoken word, to melodic vocals, to rapid rhyming. He is also known for his intricate beat boxing, and creates live on the spot beats using his voice and a guitar loop pedal. Lafa''s live show is energetic, dynamic and unique. He is making a name for himself on the west coast and has opened for the likes of The Lifesavas, Typical Cats, The Procussions and The Visionaries. In the summer of 2003 he released his debut album "Life Music". In 2004 "Hot Winter" was released which took a step into a new realm of music making. He created this multimedia album while spending the winter in Costa Rica, with a portable studio in his backpack. After traveling to Costa, Lafa headed to Japan where he rocked the Japanese scene with infamous Sora3000 and the chart topping Def Tech. This year Lafa, came out with the new hotness, "Different", which tantalizes the listeners ears with a fresh sound, ranging from introspective intellect to dub beats with a little "move your butt to this" sound on top.
