Ramrock Red Records are incredibly proud to present their 50th single release! And what better way to celebrate than to be releasing an extraordinary jazz release called ‘Power Clash’. This is the first single taken from Leo Pesci’s forthcoming LP, ‘Impolite’ which is inspired by the latest works of Los Angeles hip hop-jazz/soul artists and producers like Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper, Thundercat and Kendrick Lamar. ‘Power Clash’ features Leo Pesci on vocals and keys, Jackson Mathod on flugelhorn, synth and keys, Vincenzo De Fraia on bass and Moeazy on vocals. ‘Power Clash’ is also the first ever track produced by the London based trumpet player Jackson Mathod featuring Moeazy, American rapper from Washington DC. The rapper explains:
‘This track, for me, is a way to depict colours that represent a new nation. Imagine you draw an outline of Russia’s flag as a paint splatter and you drew the UK’s flag as a paint splatter etc., and you show these nations and other nations ‘splatting’ together – the paint colours blending together - like power clashing…..but we want the power clash to be for the better’.
The artwork, designed by Argentine architect and street artist Julian Corgan, shows a metropolitan city sprawl with coloured buildings, depicting an imaginary future where power clashing in architecture symbolises promotion of diversity.
Watch out for Leo Pesci’s ‘Impolite’ album releasing October 20th.
