The word 'innovator' is all too readily handed out to acts who do not deserve the mantle...Ben Chijioke AKA Ty is one of the few who deserves this title. A true pioneer and innovator of UK Black music; his talent has been heralded by such acts as Lilly Allen and Robert wyatt and performed with Damon Albarn

This month sees Ty relase Closer...the album which will undoubtedly propel him into the mainstream. A record crammed with sharp hooks, killer basslines and clever wordplay...an album that is one of the most soulful and funkiest albums of the year.

He brings his vision of hip-hop culture to The Cooler, with a show lauded from the USA to Morocco..for those who enjoy hip-hop that is funny, thoughtful and moving, that goes far beyond the usual shot-callers involved in rap music...this is a must
