Kaman Leung

Profile:
Kaman Leung is known for his electronic hip hop eps that became popular in the past years in the underground hip hop scene.With his debut album "Lacrimal," Leung returns to more dubby and abstract soundscapes .While Leung is probably better known for his bassdriven hip hop eps, this nine track album release finds him waist-deep in electronic dub soundscapes. But Leung adds enough new elements to the genre -- from walls of mechanical noise, to subtle melodica lines, soulful detroit synths, and funky basslines -- to keep this release deep and demanding your attention listen after listen.
Kaman Leung is a Swedish Chinese producer who made abstract electronic hip-hop beats for the past decade. After a trilogy series of eps for his own Lacerated recordings imprint out in the UK and instrumental hip hop anthems with Swedish producer Gravity a few years back which was featured on DJ Krush’s Code 4109, Leungs new album maybe an essential release in the recent abstract hip hop revival.
