Jolicoeur by Configa x Tommy Evans

 

Doctors Configa and Tommy Evans - the world's first producer-rapper-PhD combo - combine for their album "Jolicoeur." The title ("A Gallant Heart") pays homage to the late, great Dave of De La Soul whilst encapsulating Configa and Tommy's artistic ethos, authenticity and aesthetic.

With their singular soulful rap sound and credits in the triple figures, the dynamic duo are bonafide triple OGs in the game. Configa has laced countless hip hop icons with beats including Chuck D, Arrested Development and Big Daddy Kane whilst Tommy can count the likes of Kylie and Stormzy as fans of his artistry alongside being sampled by the legendary Dilla!

The 10-track project sees production wizard Dr Configa conjure up classic soulful melodies and banging beats for TE to glide over in his signature laid back style. Dr Evans combines intricate wordplay with positive but never preachy messages addressing mental health and self-love ("Love Like This"), social inequality ("They Are Not Expecting Us To Fight") and humanity's relationship with the natural world ("The Water").

It's a family affair too with features from some of London's brightest emerging vocal talent including the jazzy stylings of Doella, Glorynade's gospel-tinged rasp and the sublime neo-soul of VVN. UKHH legend Kyza even makes an appearance to taking 'em to church on the double-time epic "Keep The Faith" (featuring Nyotaa).

Ever expansive in their outlook, the Drs also enlist international assistance with the vintage soul of French-Malagasy chanteuse Malala, Bajan boss Matthew Allman, Lebanese-American poet Sarah Sayad and 2x Grammy winner Speech representing Milwaukee/Atlanta! Even with such a large cast list, the project retains a cohesive style thanks to the singular vision of Configa and Tommy Evans as they spread love through their champion sound. 

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT - HELLO (ft. Ras Kass & 1 Love) Prod. by Configa

This digitized ditty "HELLO" (proudly produced by British producer extraordinaire CONFIGA) features the amazing & legendary word smith Ras Kass! The video is a fun, throwback performance and style that harkens back to the days of Atari arcade games and boom bap hip-hop! The new album "Bullets In The Chamber" is available now on all streaming platforms, CD's are also available and vinyl is on the way! Co-produced by: Speech & Configa 

They Are Not Expecting Us To Fight by Configa x Tommy Evans

 

Drs. Configa and Tommy Evans - the world's first producer-rapper-PhD combo - team up for the fifth (and final) single from their upcoming album "Jolicoeur"! With their unique, soulful rap sound, the dynamic duo are true triple OGs in the game. Configa's production credits include hip-hop icons Chuck D and Big Daddy Kane, while Tommy counts the likes of Kylie and Stormzy as fans of his artistry, as well as being sampled by the legendary Dilla!

They Are Not Expecting Us To Fight is a powerful musical start to 2024, addressing both historical injustices and the struggles we face in the years to come. Tommy drops prescient social commentary ("The final days off grid a future iron age") while rap legend Speech (of 2x Grammy winners Arrested Development) showcases both his impeccable lyricism and irrepressible hooks ("The world is melting but not a melting pot / It's sweltering hot!"). Super-producer Configa is on his production A-game as usual, creating an epic soundscape filled with haunting choruses and thunderous drums for these veteran emcees to skate over with their soulful flows. They do not expect the people to fight!
