Spectaculous – “Tempo”
Whimsical compositions and biting lyricism prove to be the secret formula on the debut single from Madison, WI artists Spectaculous. Five years in the making, bandmates Dequadray White (vocals) Jason Kutz (keyboards), Ben Ferris (bass) and Mike Koszewski (drums/percussion) are executing a realized, distinctly unique project. The Spectaculous four recruit additional instrumentalists for “Tempo,” a piece with carefully composed classical music elements (including parts for flute, clarinet, oboe, etc.) in a hip hop package. The bubble gum, Fairly Oddparents palette and Dequadray’s sharp pen combine for a one of a kind listening (and viewing) experience. “Tempo” comes with a fully animated video from DaBolis House that you’ve gotta check out. You can follow the band’s future output, including plans for multiple EPs, on Spotify. Check out our Underground Hip Hop playlist while you’re there.
