ABOUT CON & KWAKE.. *Rapper and Drummer CoN&KwAkE are and . They share long and entwined histories with saxophonist and Native Rebel label owner , and with many of the incredible London musicians and producers who have emerged over the last decade. The basement jams they hosted – originally in Kwake’s teenage bedroom and later in his Brockley Rise ‘Drumgeon’ – were part of a rich and interconnected community where beat-makers, instrumentalists and vocalists would come together and make the music they needed. ‘Eyes In The Tower’ draws as much from on musicianship developed in locally-famous south London bedrooms as from players schooled in world-famous Conservatoires. A uniquely London evolution of classic hip hop, Confucius MC and Kwake Bass have provided a record of sheer class that brings through lineages of jazz and sees saxophone, drums, piano and double bass freestyle as powerfully as the lyrics.
