LJ Karwel's debut album titled "Unnecessary to cross out" is a musical journey through the golden era of hip hop - the 90s - in which the power of the contemporary rapper's voice adds freshness. Karwel is a diamond discovered by Ty Typ Mesa in the province of Mońki in Podlasie. Life polished this precious stone with hard stories.
Krzysztof "LJ" (pronounced as Elliot) Karwel privately worked as an ambulance paramedic, cashier, warehouse worker, and even an administrator of an erotic portal. So he has plenty to tell. However, it is the unique flow, the fluency in dividing syllables, unparalleled in Poland and the ease achieved while working in the studio, made it debut in one of the most interesting independent labels - the Alkopoligamia.com team.
LJ is famous for being picky when it comes to choosing music. To choose beats to embellish with cheeky choruses and cheeky verses, he rejected hundreds of (literally) productions. The minimal reverberation on the snare drum can disqualify the music in the eyes (ears) of the rapper who has carefully studied the inspiring albums and will not be able to squeeze just any production.
The artist was shaped by monumental figures from the USA, such as Redman, Notorious BIG and Eminem. On the album "Unnecessary to scratch" we have party chats for fans of libations, as well as demonic fantasies about suicide. The album is a complete story, the atmosphere of which adapts to the seasons of the week, because "working class hero" LJ Karwel knows what frustration is and the taste of relaxation after work.
The album was created with the assistance of the progressive producer and sound engineer RAU, who gives the rapper the highest marks for his musical imagination.
