Review
ISHWHAT?!'s hip hop has the same reputation as a 3-star restaurant... not overdone! classy, delicious and good for the system... Napoleon Maddoz blends perfectly jazz and hip hop. Accompanied by a flawless soulful sax, a diabolical and intoxicating bass, ISWHAT?! completes the 3 person ensemble with a perfectly delightful flow. When the beatbox kicks in, ... just enjoy!

Le Hip Hop d’ISWHAT à la même réputation qu’un restaurant trois étoiles…et elle n’est pas surfaite ! Classe et délicieux à l’oreille, le live d’ISWHAT?! a un avantage énorme sur les resto 3 étoiles : l’expérience musicale ici ne coûte pas un bras ! Napoléon Maddox arrive parfaitement à unir jazz et hiphop. Accompagné d’un sax sans laisse, partant parfois en free, une contre basse diabolique et enivrante, ISWHAT?! pose son flow à la manière d’un grand chef qui nappe d’une sauce un plat que l’on sait délicieux. Alors quand il ajoute son beat box en plus c’est jouissif.
