a Jazz / Hip-hop group, composed of MC and singer songwriter K.J.B.( 1982, Gouda NL) & Kratos Himself( 1991, Goes NL).
Jazzurected started out when Kaycinn and Kratos Himself who attended the same school were returning from a great jam session. They decided to work together on a project. DJ and producer Kratos came up with the name Jazzurected.
The following days Kaycinn wrote some lyrics including his verse for the song " Sometimes " on Kratos' beats.
But there was still something missing... Kaycinn then introduced his longtime buddy K.J.B. to Kratos.
After some time Kaycinn lacked time for Jazzurected because of his part in the awesome Dutch rock / funk / hiphop band called Sabotage. Kaycinn and female singer Roxanne Janse often perform with Jazzurected during live shows.
From that moment on K.J.B. and Kratos himself formed a duo. They are now working on the Jazztronauts project.
Kratos is currently working on his own first solo album called " My Mellow Yellow Taxi " , in which K.J.B. will also feature.
According to us hip hop is...
We both find it hard to define Hip-hop. To us it is like a feeling.
The feeling you get when people are together and share the love for the art.
English or Dutch rhymes...
In our music we use English rhymes. In English we can both express ourselves much better then in Dutch.
It could happen in the future though. Music works in mysterious ways. Music is an universal language.
Our lyrics focus on....
our feelings, life experience and just having fun with music.
Just expressing what the beat / music makes you feel.
It all comes down to life and feeling.
Our beats....
The concept is that all the beats contain jazz samples. Some beats have got that oldschool hiphop sound but some are very experimental. We are trying to create a new, unique sound.
Old or new school...
Kratos:
There is no way I could ever choose between old or new school. New school can be cheap or fake but if you look hard enough there is still a lot of great stuff happening. And old school, I love the simplicity. Just a drum break and a loop and a rapper with a message.
K.J.B.:
I think a little of both but I think a better term for our music is " Our school ".
Because I personally think it's never really been done.
