VI.BE

A M A Z U M I

is flow, rhythm and word personified. A Nepalese from Hong Kong, she began her journey into HipHop while making a documentary about an MC in London. Combining her love of speech and an irrepressible urge for creative expression, she began honing her skills in cyphers and actively performing in the underground circuit in London and eventually Gent where she admits to being sonically made. Seizing every opportunity to learn, experiment and grow as an artist, Amazumi is a cut above the rest.

With her newest single currently circulating in Studio Brussel after coming out of De Nieuwe Lichting experience as one of the 8 finalists of 2017, she is ready to drop her full project 'V for Venom'.

V F O R V E N O M is a 7-track EP that showcases Amazumi's lyricism and musicality in a hard new light. The soundscape is heavily infused with steely synths, hard basslines, heavy guitar licks and mostly dark elements. It comes from a place of purgatory and Amazumi cuts her heart out open for the blood and gore to gush all out.

Knack Focus Van der Haegen: Het lijkt wel of we naar Azealia Banks zitten te luisteren. Amazumi maakt ietwat chaotische, maar wel gedurfde hiphop. Er zit pit in, een punkattitude zelfs. Gladde hits interesseren haar duidelijk niet. Dit meisje rapt rechtdoor, weg van de platgetreden paadjes. Cool!

De Nieuwe Lichting: Amazumi, ofwel Zulu Moon, ontbond voor "V for Venom" haar Nepalese duivels en gromt je in het begin van het nummer meteen wakker. Dit is enorm vernieuwende hiphop van eigen bodem. Zeker de scheurende synths bezorgen ons meermaals kippenvel.
