DE AFARĂ: Ayatollah - Fingertips (2011)

Fingertips este cel de-al 11-lea material al lui Ayatollah și a fost lansat în data de 1 februarie 2011, prin Green Streets Entertainment.

In the world of instrumental hip-hop, Ayatollah needs no introduction. Since making his name producing tracks for hiphop icons like Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch, Sean Price, Rakim, Ghostface Killah, and Talib Kweli, the New York beatsmith has turned his attention to vocal-less music. "I get peace of mind from doing instrumental albums," explains Tollah. "There's no words to lead you in any one direction. Plus I don't have to wait on rappers to finish the creations. I like the freedom of it." After eight acclaimed instrumental collections, Ayatollah is proud to announce his first vinyl offering in over five years, Fingertips.

Musically, Fingertips reflects the gritty sound the producer has become known for. Horns blare, drums pound, basslines rumble, and vocal snippets drift in and out. "It's raw, it's cutting edge, and it's soulful," describes Tollah. As has been welldocumented, Ayatollah still uses his trusty Akai MPC 60, meaning the music on the album did in fact come straight from the tips of some famously dusty fingers.
