"The poetess of the apocalypse!"... that's what the magazine 👣itch🤿👩👩 called her, and she is far from exaggerating. The music of the unique Philadelphian singer, poet and activist who goes by the name 𝗠𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁 (aka Camae Ayewa) combines rap and recitation of poetry with elements of electronica, free jazz, punk and sound collages. With strong inner conviction, he focuses his lyrics, supported by intense vocal and musical expression, on race riots, domestic violence, slavery and the myth of the so-called "post-racial" America. In addition to her solo work, Camae Ayewa is also a member of the free jazz quintet Irreversible Entanglements and performed with the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Her latest album 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘉𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘵, who has a theme as a sad heritage of European colonialism, is generally considered one of her best.

🎤 America's most recognized underground MC and long-time leading voice of alternative rap, who has always stuck to his independence. That's billy woﺿﺿﺿs with his unique rhyming style and lyrics that refer to Kafka, Vonnegut or Conrad. It's probably not that surprising that he stayed out of the mainstream for a long time. But this has changed with the release of the latest album 𝑀𝑎𝑝𝑠 in the production of 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝗻𝘆𝗵𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗮, which attracted it to him deserved attention. Incisive and sophisticated, the album ranked high on a number of critics' best records of 2023 charts, building on the acclaim of his previous effort, 𝐴𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑝𝑜𝑒𝑠.

And it's actually not difficult to understand why the songs on 𝑀𝑎𝑝𝑠 caught so much attention. Masterful lyrics and rapping mixed with distinctive drums and echoes of jazz and blues - saxophone lines, flashing piano sounds and guitar and flute samples. बिल्य उभूडदसe also exudes an aura of mystery and unconventional personality, as she hides her face in official photos. But his live performances will take you straight to the heart of this exceptional artist.

"billy woods controls and offers everything - humor and darkness, technique and style." 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗸

𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 and 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 cooperated on the album 𝐵𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑠 from 2020, but their joint evening at the Prague Sounds festival will offer two separate concerts - two riveting performances of unique contemporary hip hop artists. 🎤

𝗠𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗻
The work of Philadelphian artist 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼𝘁 (aka Camae Ayewa) blends rap and spoken-word poetry with an experimental musical aesthetic that takes in elements of electronica, free jazz, punk, and sound collage. An activist and urgently socially-conscious artist, whether she's turning the spotlight on race riots, domestic violence, slavery, or the myth of a 'post-racial' America, she does it with a vocal and musical intensity that is visceral, immersive, and uniquely her own. Ayewa is also a member of the free jazz quintet Irreversible Entanglements, and has performed with the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Pitchfork has called her 'the poet laureate of the apocalypse,' her latest album, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝐵𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑡 - whose focus is the tragic legacy of European colonialism – has been widely acclaimed as one of her finest.

Billy وﺿﺿﺿﺎ
America's most acclaimed underground MC and long a leading voice in alternative rap, Billy ﺺﺿﺿﺿﺎ has always been a fiercely independent artist. With an idiosyncratic rhyming style, and lyrics that reference Kafka, Vonnegut, and Conrad, it's perhaps unsurprising that he remained below the mainstream radar for so long. But with the release of his last album 𝑀𝑎𝑝𝑠, produced by 𝒜𝒶𝒾𝒾𝒾𝒾𝒾𝓁, Billy Woods is getting the recognition his fiercely intelligent music deserves. 𝑀𝑎𝑝𝑠 featured high on critics' best-of lists for 2023, building on the widespread acclaim he received for his predecessor, 𝐴𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑠. And it's not hard to see why, with Bill's masterful lyrics and delivery woven into soundscapes that feature robust, shifting drum patterns and echoes of jazz and blues - sax lines and twinkling pianos, guitar and flute samples. ಬಿಲ್ಯ ವಿರ್ಸ್ಸೆ is frequently labeled an enigma or a maverick, cultivating an air of mystery by often obscuring his face in media photos – but his live performances take us right to the heart of the man.
