“kind of blue” is probably the best-selling jazz record of all time. we precede the familiar stereo version with the legendary “kind of blue” mono mix - legendary because columbia records claimed that the tapes had been discarded long ago. the avaxhome audiophile website approved of the new perspective mono offers on a time-honoured classic, saying: “if you’re only used to hearing it in stereo, this will be a different experience. it sounds kind of “forward”, particularly the saxes. overall it has a nice timbre, especially in the midrange.”

raf camora, bekannt durch unzähligen alben, mixtapes und kollabos u.a. mit sido, nazar oder chakuza, zuletzt auf tour mit k.i.z., ist einer der schillernsten persönlichkeiten der deutschsprachigen rap / hiphop szene. einer der keine grenzen kennt. einer der sich nicht einengen und damit festlegen läßt. seine beats, raps und hooks suchen in deutschland, Österreich und der schweiz ihresgleichen. raf 3.0 ist die konsequente weiterentwicklung des raf camora-sounds: aus ein paar gesungenen hooks und der liebe zum jamaikanischen dub so wie hartem rap von der straße, ist ein ganz eigener sound gereift. raf 3.0 führt melodiösen reggae- und dancehall mit den harten 808-drums und synthiebeats des dirty south-rap zusammen. die treibenden beats veredelt raf mit seiner ganz eigenen, charakteristischen art zu singen. raf 3.0 ist rougher reggae, wie ihn die öde deutsche musiklandschaft noch nicht gehört hat. 3.0 ist nicht nur etwas neues - es ist eine verbesserung und optimierung hin zur perfektion. einzigartig und bewegend.
