Came across this in the blogosphere and once I checked this out properly I think its a Dope project, Kenzo Digital has produced an “Hip Hop Opera” with the narration coming from only vocal samples
“City of God’s Son” is an experimental hip-hop opera starring Nas, Jay Z, Ghostface, Biggie Smalls, Raekwon, Samuel Jackson, Delroy Lindo, and Laurence Fishburne. It is a crime drama/coming of age tale of three fictitious characters growing up in a crime ridden mythical city in a jungle. This project explores the icon of the gangster in modern media, and weaves musical history and gangster film history into an operatic music based story of brotherhood and survival. An homage to 90’s New York hip-hop, “City of God’s Son” is the redefinition of the remix. Featuring legendary soul singer Joe Bataan”
The project is free to download @ City of God’s Son
Check out the preview above, interesting concept which I think could applied to load of different mediums. This year I wanna make a big effort to learn more about animation, imagine a cartoon sample from making up a story… might work, anyway peace! Code
