Degiheugi - Endless Smile 2

Degiheugi - Endless Smile 2

The sample alchemist

The sample alchemist Degiheugi returns to his roots with his 11th album “Endless Smile 2". A 16-track project created as a tribute to his iconic album Endless Smile released in 2015. A perfect balance between hip-hop beats, electronic textures, warm brass arrangements and soulful shades, carried by meticulously selected samples.

Degiheugi has established himself as one of the leading figures of the abstract hip-hop scene, a sound rooted in sample culture and inspired by artists such as MF DOOM and J Dilla. Alongside figures like Wax Tailor or The Architect, he develops this branch of hip-hop where poetic approach and rich sound textures intertwine. 

A tireless digger and sound collector, Degiheugi possesses the rare ability to uncover and magnify long-forgotten musical gems. Once transformed, they begin to tell a completely new story: the story of Degiheugi.
