Hamza's back for another round of hors d'oeuvre. On Friday, the Belgian rapper bolstered his Paradise LP with 8 additional songs, including two previously unheard collaborations with A.CHAL and Parisian supergroup 13 Block. Upon its (original) release in March, Paradise was described by Hamza as the closest he'd come to retracing his incipient steps in 2013.
In spite of the bravado embedded in his lyrics, Hamza is generally noted for his mellow demeanor; distinguished by the episodic manner he constructs his songs. If you're looking for a crash course in French-language hip-hop, this is as a good a place to start as any on the open channels.
