An up-and-coming voice in the electronic music and instrumental hip-hop scene, the South's own AF THE NAYSAYER is a Louisiana-based, Los Angeles-bred producer. AF cites g-funk producer DJ Battlecat and legendary video game composer Yuji Takenouchi as his biggest influences. Iman Omari, Los Angeles producer and singer-songwriter, describes AF's first EP as, "Electrifying soul-hop with a splash of purple rain; full of vibes!" AF's debut EP, the Autodidact Instrumentals Vol. 1, is a masterful postmodern blend of 80's R&B and 90's West Coast hip-hop that has served as the backdrop for many BMX web edits for FITBIKECO, DAN'S COMP, and ESPN. His collaborations in New Orleans have led him to co-curate producer Jneiro Jarel's "Viberian Experience" music series, as well as the creation and hosting of the Dolo Jazz Suite showcase. AF is also currently the New Orleans ambassador for Red Bull Music Academy and is the lead instructor at Upbeat Music Academy. "Keep an eye out for AF [THE NAYSAYER]. Real talented dude with a gang of potential." - Jneiro Jarel aka Dr. Who Dat? (JJ DOOM) "The Autodidact Instrumentals [Vol. 1] is a perfect representation of what AF is all about. Layered, intelligent design with a simple and easily digestible delivery." - DISTAL" Download Music: Bandcamp: https://goo.gl/TQ9CxI
