Theophilus London - Last Name London

Hip-hop is not everyone's cup of tea - or is it? Theophilus London, who incidentally comes from New York and not London as we assume, combines chanting in a style that is more reminiscent of the British capital.

Dan Carey, who has also lent a hand to Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip (!) and Lily Alien, has produced an unusual sound mix that is also suitable for the dancefloor. “Last Name London” is the first single from Theophilus London's debut album Timez Are Weird These Days, which was released on July 19, 2011. The track combines minimalist beats with a hint of 80s electro and features London's signature laid-back flow. With the line “Last name London, first name Theophilus”, he confidently introduces himself and underlines his unique style.
