DJ and producer Scizzorhands has released his debut single, Money In, Money Out, featuring Diggy Dupe and it's a polished release which further cements that Hip-Hop is making a comeback.
Starting with an interesting guitar and bass duet which sounds kind of jazzy, it soon morphs into a catchy release when the beat drops. The bass, melody of strings and beat are perfectly mixed, with a cool rap over the top with with Diggy Dupe's smooth husky style.
Money In, Money Out is clearly a street song, with the rhymes by Diggy Dupe telling stories of the under life. The quality of this track is similar to Dr Dre or Redman, I really enjoy the phat drumbeat and the sub bass, which brings it to a whole new level. Diggy's rapping style complements the whole song faultlessly.
This is only the first Single from Scizzorhands, and I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of his upcoming 7-track record.
Hailing from West Auckland, Scizzorhands is a world class turntablist who is always improving on skill and knowledge, bringing a variety of music in a hip-hop way.
From a young age, he was influenced by his grandparents and family who introduced him to music in the form of a drum kit at age 11.
Aged 17, Scizzorhands invested in his first set of turntables. Being heavily influenced by the likes of Mix Master Mike (Beastie Boys), DJ Rectangle and New Zealand’s own P-Money, he started down the path of becoming a turntablist DJ. Self-taught, Scizzorhands upskilled his scratching under the tutelage of New Zealand’s 2003 DMC World Champion DJ CXL.
