Silver & The Incomparable Shakespeare - The British Invasion

The British Invasion Front Cover

The British Invasion is a hybrid experiment that fuses the musical aesthetics of American and UK pop. Produced exclusively by Silver, the project’s goal was to maintain the integrity of the source material while creating a rich new sound not typically found in Hip-Hop. The references are incredibly diverse and range from The Beatles to Bloc Party to Soul II Soul. I put a lot of love into every record to ensure that each has a different sound and a different approach, but more importantly, a different feel. This EP should not to be confused with the disposable mixtapes which clutter the web. This is music!

All I ask is that you listen with open ears. Welcome to the “Invasion,” presented by OnSmash.com and DJBooth.net.

- The Incomparable Shakespeare

Update: Watch Shake’s brand new videos for “Wonderwall” and “Hometown.”

A real solid album with only a few misses. They bring in wide variety of sounds from different genres and decades and as a result the album kept me interested the whole way through.

This is excellent; it's easy to hear and feel all of the influences from various genres. It's very much out-of-the-box and attention-keeping.

My Faves:
"Cruise Control"
"No Baggage"
"Keep On"

I was hesitant to download this tape given my distaste for most british rappers (Dizzee Rascal...), but was immediately drawn in by the epic piano chords of the intro, plus the classy estelle never fails to draw me in. Next on the plate he kills a personal favorite of mine (Eleanor Rigby) on "Lonely People"... Im always impressed when hip hop incorporates classic pop or rock music. All in all I can't really find a weakness besides "PYT" which is mediocre. Luckily "Wonderwall" picks it right back up and kills the album with a bang. I look forward to more
