Syrup - Rosy Lee

Technically, Syrup are a hip-hop group with unmistakeable leanings towards soul and jazz. The group consists of an MC (Turt), a pianist/singer (C.Tappin) and a beatmaker (Twit One). Their music is rooted in the tradition of collectives like Native Tongues and Soulquarians, and they have come up with a pretty appropriate term to describe their sound, which is „cool bap“. But if we put formailties aside and look at the bigger picture, Syrup are also a perfect example of how music can connect people beyond national borders, language and tradition. And furthermore how Afro-American culture has influenced not only the musical taste but the views and opinion-making of generations of young people worldwide.
